Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for coating)
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

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 into the wet mixture. Mix until fully combined, but do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the coating.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls with your hands.

Step 8

Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and the edges are set but not browned.

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

Serve and enjoy your soft snickerdoodles!
