Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for rolling)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to form a soft dough.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to prepare the rolling mixture.
- Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
- Bake: Place the cinnamon sugar coated dough balls onto an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain their chewy texture.
Notes
- For extra chewiness, avoid overbaking; remove cookies when centers still look slightly undercooked.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for better dough consistency.
- Storing cookies in an airtight container will keep them soft for several days.
- Substitute cream of tartar with additional baking powder if unavailable, but cream of tartar is preferred to achieve the classic snickerdoodle tang.
