Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups packed light brown sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for dough)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the earlier bowl to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
In a small separate bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon for the coating.
Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls (approximately 1 tablespoon of dough per ball), then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar coating mixture until fully covered.
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your super easy snickerdoodle cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
