Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for rolling)
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 0.25 cups of sugar for rolling.
Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Place the coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly puffed. Avoid overbaking for a soft texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade cinnamon snickerdoodles with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of tea!
