The Best Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe

I have always loved Snickerdoodle cookies but for some unforeseen reason I never thought to make them myself. I had a free Sunday afternoon so I was inspired to dig up a recipe online and was delighted that I had all of the ingredients. Why have I never made them before???

**Bonus!! My 13 year old Vivian helped me this afternoon. We jammed to music on Spotify and cut and rolled.

The Best Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe 

From: https://www.modernhoney.com/the-best-snickerdoodle-cookie-recipe/Soft and Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies. The popular cinnamon-sugar soft and chewy sugar cookie recipe. A recipe that has been in the family for over 30 years! Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 24 

Ingredients 

• 1 cup Unsalted Butter 
• 1 1/2 cups Sugar 
• 2 large Eggs 
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla 
• 2 3/4 cup Flour 
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar 
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda 
• 1 teaspoon Salt 

Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: 

• 1/4 cup Sugar 
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Cinnamon (Next time, I would use less cinnamon. It seems a bit much)

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
• In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. 
• Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer. 
• Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, just until combined. 
• In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon. 
• If time allows, wrap the dough and let refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. 
• Roll into small balls until round and smooth. 
• Drop into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well. 
• Using a spoon, coat for a second time, ensuring the cookie balls are completely covered. 
• *To make flatter snickerdoodles, press down in the center of the ball before placing in the oven. This helps to keep them from puffing up in the middle. 
• *Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. 
• Let cool for several minutes on baking sheet before removing from the pan
