Classic Snickerdoodle Cookies

These Classic Snickerdoodle Cookies are soft and pillowy with chewy middles and slightly crisp edges. They are a comforting, sweet treat with a uniquely tender, almost cake-like texture.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
  3. Cream the shortening and both sugars using the paddle attachment on stand mixer. Cream for ~3 minutes, scraping down sides as needed.
  4. Add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix again until combined. Turn off the mixer.
  5. Fold in the dry ingredients just until combined, do not over mix. (The dough may be little sticky but i was able to work with it just fine, but feel free to chill a bit if needed).
  6. In a small dish or bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Scoop cookie dough with a 2 tbsp. scoop & roll into balls, then roll in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
  8. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet. I like to bake 6 at a time. Overcrowding the cookie sheet can cause the cookies to spread.
  9. Bake for just 8-10 min. Do not over bake.
  10. They look very soft and puffy right out of oven and almost underbaked but as they cool they’re perfectly soft and chewy. Let cool on the cookie sheet for just 1 minute, then carefully transfer to wire rack to cool completely. They settle as they cool. 
  11. Last step...enjoy!!

Notes

  • Store at room temperature in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze up to 3 Months: Snickerdoodles can be stored in the freezer for up to three months without significant loss of quality.
