Equipment
- mixing bowl
- electric mixer
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- unsalted butter
- granulated sugar
- all purpose flour
- cream of tatar
- eggs
- baking soda
- salt
- ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or do this by hand with a wooden spoon.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar coating.Roll spoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat it evenly.
- Place the coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and just beginning to turn golden. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the Snickerdoodle cookies have cooled, serve and enjoy! They're best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
