Snickerdoodle Cookies

Delicious and soft Snickerdoodle cookies coated in cinnamon-sugar, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on prepared baking sheets with enough space between each.
  6. In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Roll each cookie ball in this mixture until coated.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a fun twist, try adding chocolate chips or nuts. Serve warm with milk or create ice cream sandwiches for a delightful treat.
