Soft and Chewy Snickerdoodles
Snickerdoodles are loved for their soft, chewy texture and delightful flavor. The balance of cinnamon and sugar makes each bite a heavenly experience. Let’s get started on making these delicious cookies!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for rolling)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of sugar and 3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
