Ingredients
- Cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon
- Cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons
- All-purpose flour
- 2 3/4 cups
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Eggs
- 2
- Granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups
- Unsalted butter
- 1 cup, softened
- Extra granulated sugar and cinnamon mix
- 2 tablespoons each, for coating
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is well incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a small bowl, combine the extra granulated sugar and cinnamon to make the coating.
- Shape the cookie dough into 1-inch balls, rolling each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat it evenly.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will look soft and undercooked, but they will continue to cook on the hot baking sheet.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these classic Snickerdoodle cookies!
Tips
- For a fun twist, try adding a half teaspoon of nutmeg or a quarter teaspoon of cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar coating. For chocolate lovers, add a half cup of mini chocolate chips to the dough.
