Soft & Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe 🍪

Here’s a classic Snickerdoodle cookie recipe that’s soft, chewy, and coated in cinnamon-sugar!

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

• 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp cream of tartar

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:

• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

• 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

5. Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon.

6. Form Dough Balls: Roll the dough into 1.5-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

7. Bake: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
