Place balls on the baking 2 inches apart.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. then tTransfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Classic snickerdoodles are made with only white sugar. Adding brown sugar to the mix contributed a further caramel notes of flavor and increased softness of the cookies.
I recommend you test your oven first for the first couple or maybe 4 cookies. Until you get the hang of it.
Remove cookies when they are started to get hard on the edges but will be soft in the middle and looks as if they are underbaked.
If you want flatter cookies press on the cookie balls with the bottom of a glass cup dipped in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container on your counter for up to a week.
