Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for coating)
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 butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a soft cookie texture.
In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon for the coating.
Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.
Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the magic of these Disneyland-inspired snickerdoodles!
