Classic Snickerdoodle Cookie

Snickerdoodles are a popular cookie that is rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking. The cookies come out thick, super soft, buttery and full of flavor. They are one of my favorites with the ease of preparation as they can be made start to finish in about 30 minutes. They come out perfect every time and everyone loves them. Check out the recipe below in post.

Whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and 1 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl, scraping down sides, until incorporated. Add the egg and vanilla continue to beat until mixture is pale yellow, about 3 minutes.

Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add dry ingredients and continue to beat, scraping down sides and bottom of bowl, until just combined.

Whisk cinnamon and remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar in a medium bowl. Using a 1-oz. ice cream scoop or a heaping tablespoonful, portion cookies and roll into small balls with your hands. Toss in cinnamon-sugar until coated all over. 

Transfer to prepared sheet pan, spacing about 3" apart. Do not flatten; cookies will spread as they bake. Bake cookies until edges are lightly browned and firm but centers are puffed and soft. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Recipe makes about 2-1/2 dozen.
