Hey fellow bakers! I'm low-key curious about why snickerdoodle dough gets so sticky, you feel me? 🤔
Like, it almost doesn't want to stick out of the baking pan! 😅 Any of y'all got the solution on this dough dilemma? Let's dish and bake some snickerdoodles! 🔥 Can we have a discussion about this?
 
Yo! Totally get what you're saying! 🍪 One reason it gets sticky is the high moisture content from ingredients like butter and eggs. Also, if you're overmixing, that can make it stickier too. Try chilling the dough for like 30 minutes before rolling it into balls. It should help it firm up a bit and make it easier to handle.
