Ingredients
- 2¾ cups flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (2 sticks )
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a baking mat and put in refrigerator to chill.
- Whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
- Gradually stir in the flour mixture, beating on low speed just until the flour is blended.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Scoop 1-inch balls of dough and roll in the cinnamon and sugar mixture to coat.
- Place on chilled cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and bake for 10 minutes.
- Chill the dough and cookie sheets between batches.
- Let cookies set on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack. Store cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
- Chill, chill, chill! - Be sure to follow the chilling instructions for the pan and dough. It helps the cookies hold their shape and not spread.
- Baking Pans Prep - I recommend using parchment paper to line the pans to eliminate any possibility of the cookies spreading.
- Cream of Tartar - This is a key ingredient in snickerdoodles, but if you find yourself in a serious pinch, you can use 2 teaspoons baking powder and omit BOTH the cream of tartar AND the baking soda. Just remember the flavor will be slightly different.
- Cinnamon - Use your favorite, high-quality cinnamon since you'll be getting a heft taste of it. I keep Simply Organic ground cinnamon in my pantry.
- Scoop - I like to use this cookie scoop for uniform cookies.
- Make-Ahead - You can prepare the dough and store it, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before scooping and baking.
- Storage - Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freezing - You can freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Thaw at room temperature then enjoy!
