Snickerdoodles




I love cookies. Snickerdoodles are one of my favorites, and this is my favorite snickerdoodle recipe (although I'm always open to trying new ones!)


3 Cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 Cups granulated sugar
1 Cup butter, softened
2 eggs

1/4 Cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
2. Using a mixer, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add in eggs. Slowly add the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated.
3. Mix together the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls and dip in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE! Bake until light and golden.
