Great American Cookies Snickerdoodles Recipes

THE BEST SNICKERDOODLE COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer.
• Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, just until combined.
• In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon.
• If time allows, wrap the dough and let refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Roll into small balls until round and smooth. Drop into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well. Using a spoon, coat for a second time, ensuring the cookie balls are completely covered. *To make flatter snickerdoodles, press down in the center of the ball before placing in the oven. This helps to keep them from puffing up in the middle. *
• Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Let cool for several minutes on baking sheet before removing from the pan.
