It’s hard to go wrong with snickerdoodles. The butter and cream of tarter give them an unbelievably soft and chewy texture that is hard to resist. As a food blogger, I rarely make things twice because I am always on the search for something new or a twist on something classic. These cookies are the perfect example of the latter. I added maple syrup to the cookies and rolled them in graham cracker crumbles to give them a French toast twist. These cookies are fairly easy to make; you don’t have to decorate them, and everyone I shared them with loved them. By Dinner or Dessert
For the crumble topping:
5 ounces graham crackers, finely crumbled

Recipe
Preheat oven to 350°F.
First, make crumble topping. In a small bowl, combine crumbled graham crackers, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar and set aside.
To make cookies, in a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cream of tarter, salt and 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon and whisk together.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat butter and 1 cup sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the maple syrup and the egg until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture and beat until combined.
Roll dough into 2-inch balls and roll them in crumble topping. Place balls 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheet
Bake cookies 17-20 minutes or until light golden brown on top. Once you pull them out of the oven, let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Makes 22 large cookies
