Ingredients
Scale
For the cookies:
- 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the coating:
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
For the cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about a couple minutes. Reduce the speed to low and mix in the egg, making sure the bottom of the bowl is mixed in.
- Add in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and mix just until a cookie dough forms.
For the coating:
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
- Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to scoop the dough into balls, roll into the cinnamon-sugar to coat completely and place on a baking sheet a few inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and just starting to turn slightly golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cream of tartar is an important ingredient in Snickerdoodle cookies to give them their classic tang and also helps as a leavening agent.
