Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup additional granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoons additional ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be soft but should hold its shape.
In a small bowl, prepare the coating by combining 0.25 cups of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Shape the dough into balls approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat it evenly.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. (Note: For high altitude, reduce the baking soda by 0.25 teaspoons and increase the flour by 2 tablespoons to prevent overspreading.)
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Snifferific Snickerdoodles, fresh-baked or stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days!
