Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsps cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract

For the cinnamon-sugar coating:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsps ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • 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.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the coating.
  • Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely.
  • Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and golden, but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy your snickerdoodles! These cookies are best when eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
