Snickerdoodle cookies are warm, chewy treats coated in cinnamon-sugar, perfect for cozy moments and any gathering.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding the vanilla extract until mixed.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and 3 tablespoons of sugar.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then coat each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing. Do not overbake the cookies as they will firm up while cooling.
