The Best Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup Unsalted Butter ((softened))
  2. 1 1/2 cups Sugar
  3. 2 large Eggs
  4. 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  5. 2 3/4 cup Flour
  6. 1 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar ((for less tang, use 1 teaspoon))
  7. 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  8. 3/4 teaspoon Salt
  9. 1/4 cup Sugar
  10. 1 1/2 Tablespoons Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer.
  3. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, just until combined.
  4. In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon.
  5. If time allows, wrap the dough and let refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Roll into small balls until round and smooth. Drop into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well. Using a spoon, coat for a second time, ensuring the cookie balls are completely covered. *To make flatter snickerdoodles, press down in the center of the ball before placing in the oven. This helps to keep them from puffing up in the middle. *
  6. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Let cool for several minutes on baking sheet before removing from the pan.
