Soft and Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies Delightful Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3.33 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar for coating
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
- In a small bowl, combine the ¼ cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon for the coating.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Place the coated cookie dough balls onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will continue to set as they cool).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
