Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 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 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 0.25 cup of granulated sugar for the coating.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake to ensure a soft and chewy texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
