What are Snickerdoodles?
A snickerdoodle is a soft, chewy cookie with a slightly crisp edge. It is known for classic simplicity and nostalgic flavors of cinnamon and sugar. While cooling, the top crackles, which contributes to the texture
It is made with a buttery dough and has a slight tang because of the cream of tartar. The flavor is sweet with a hint of vanilla, balanced by the classic taste and smell of the cinnamon, making each bite both cozy and crave-worthy. It’s the kind of cookie that feels like home.

Snickerdoodle
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp white sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375. In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Stir in the eggs. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Once mix, stir into the creamed mixture and blend well. In a different small bowl, stir together the 2 Tbsp white sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls. Then, roll the balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place them onto an un-greased cookie sheet, two inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from sheets after 15 minutes to cool on a wire rack. Cookies continue to solidify and collapse as they cool.
Of course, every Meaningful Mama post about baking or cooking must come with an encouragement to get your kids helping you in the kitchen.
