Ingredients
- For the Cookies:
- 1 cup salted butter (2 sticks), softened
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
- For Rolling:
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened butter for about 2 minutes until smooth, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, then beat for 2 more minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat well until smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and cream of tartar. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form dough balls about 1 ½ to 2 inches across.
- Roll in Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Set aside any leftover cinnamon-sugar for later.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly shiny. The cookies will continue to cook as they cool.
- Shape and Cool: After removing the cookies from the oven, use a spoon to gently push the edges toward the center to make them round and thicker. Let the cookies sit on the pan for 3-5 minutes to set up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Final Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: While the cookies are still warm, but cool enough to handle, dip each side into the remaining cinnamon-sugar for an extra flavor boost.
- Serve: Enjoy your freshly baked Snickerdoodle Cookies with a glass of milk!
