Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine 0.25 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to create the rolling mixture.

Step 7

Scoop roughly 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Step 8

Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake to ensure the cookies stay soft.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your soft and chewy snickerdoodles with a glass of milk or share them with family and friends!
