Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
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 mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to create the coating mixture.
Step 7
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it into a ball using your hands.
Step 8
Roll the dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar coating mixture until evenly covered.
Step 9
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly underbaked.
Step 11
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy your freshly baked Mom's Snickerdoodle Cookies!
