Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ pound unsalted butter softened
- 1½ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamom
- 2 teaspoons cardamom
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease the cookie sheet or use parchment paper.
- In a large bowl to sift the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Beat at medium speed until the softened butter, and 1 ½ cup sugar are fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and combine well.
- Stir in the flour mixture into the butter mixture until smooth.
- Pull off pieces of the dough and roll them between the palm of your hand to form a 1-inch ball.
- Mix together well the remainder ½ cup sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom.
- Roll the 1-inch ball in the sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom mixture.
- Space about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet and bake (one sheet at a time) until the cookies are golden brown at the edges, about 8 to 9 minutes.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and let it cool off until the cookies are firm. Transfer to a cookie rack.
- Let the cookie sheet cool off completely between batches, or the cookies will cook too fast.

Notes
- Do not overbake the snickerdoodle. They will still need to be soft when they cool as they continue to harden once they are out of the oven.
- Once you have added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, do not overmix. Overmixing the flour will cause the gluten to overdevelop and give you a flat, hard cookie.
- If you use only one cookie sheet, let it cool off completely before adding another batch of cookies. The heat of the sheet will start the baking process and render a flat cookie.
