Best Snickerdoodle Recipe

Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies. After tasting these Abby said, “What are these? These are my new favorite cookie.” If you have been searching for a great snickerdoodle recipe, search no further. 

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.
