Soft and Chewy Snickerdoodles
Description
Soft and Chewy Snickerdoodles offer a traditional cinnamon-sugar cookie with a tender interior achieved by a precise mix of baking soda, cream of tartar, and baking powder. The dough is creamed with butter and sugar, incorporating eggs and vanilla for richness. After mixing in flour and spices, dough balls are rolled in a cinnamon sugar blend to create a textured, flavorful coating. Baking them at 350 degrees results in cookies with soft centers and lightly crisp edges that hold their shape well. This recipe yields cookies ideal for sharing or snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, salted
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease two baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, use a whisk attachment to cream 1 cup salted butter and 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, or use a hand mixer. Mix in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl so that everything gets mixed in.
- Switch your mixer attachment to a paddle or dough hook. Mix in 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda until everything is mixed in.
- In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
- Pinch off 1 tablespoon of dough. Roll into a ball and gently roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat until all dough is rolled into balls and coated in cinnamon sugar.
- Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 2-3 minutes on the pan before carefully removing to cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Store in an airtight container.
