Easy Snickerdoodles Recipe
These snickerdoodles are incredibly soft and fluffy, thanks to the combination of ingredients that create the perfect texture. With a delightful cinnamon-sugar coating, each bite is filled with warmth and comfort.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 ½ cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.
- In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of sugar and ground cinnamon for the rolling mixture.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture before placing it on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are just starting to crack on top. They will continue to cook slightly after removing them from the oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
