Snickerdoodles are my husband's favorite so these never last long.  They are perfectly buttery and chewy...and highly addictive.  : )

*Softened Unsalted Butter is a very important part of this recipe.  If you use a butter spread or if you let the butter melt instead of just being softened - your dough will be too sticky to roll into balls.  If your dough does become too sticky though it can help to drop the dough into the sugar mixture, coat, and then use your hands to roll it into a ball.
