Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer 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 all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until fully combined, but do not overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the coating.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls with your hands.
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 cookies are puffed and the edges are set but not browned.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your soft snickerdoodles!
