Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature (2 sticks)
  • 1¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1½ teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk room temperature
For Rolling
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until combined.
  4. To the wet ingredients, add dry ingredients and milk. Beat just until mixed and dough starts sticking together. Set aside.
  5. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the remaining granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir until combined.
  7. Using a 2-tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, scoop cookies one at a time into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  8. Roll the cookie dough balls around in the mixture to fully coat each, then form cookies into balls and place onto a prepared baking sheet. Cookies can be close together on the baking sheet at this point.
  9. Place the tray of cookie dough into the freezer for 10 minutes to chill. This will help reduce cookies from spreading.
  10. While the cookies chill, preheat oven to 375°F.
  11. Once chilled, place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Place remaining cookie dough balls back into the freezer.
  12. Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes. Cookies are done once bottoms are lightly browned.
  13. Let baked cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before moving onto wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Repeat steps for remaining cookie dough.

Notes

  • Storage: Store snickerdoodles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
