Ingredients

Snickerdoodle Dough
  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, just softened
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer, cream together butter (barely softened) and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and blend well.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well.
  5. In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon.
  6. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture - twice.
  7. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let sit on the cookie sheet for a few additional minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

  • Cream of tartar substitute. Replace the 2 teaspoons cream of tartar AND the 1 teaspoon baking soda with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar.
  • Store. Keep cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. Store in a freezer bag, or air-tight container in the freezer for up to 4 months. 
  • Store cookie dough. See How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips.
