This classic Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe is a keeper. These soft, chewy, fluffy cinnamon cookies are easy to make and delicious to eat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cup Softened Butter (Sweet Cream, Salted)
  • 3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 4 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 5 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 heaping teaspoons of Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and granulated sugar until completely combined.
  2. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix until the dough is fluffy.
  3. Add in baking soda, salt and cream of tartar.
  4. Finally, mix in the flour, a third at a time.
  5. Refrigerate the dough for 2 hours.
  6. Measured 2.5 oz. of cookie dough for each cookie. Roll the dough into a ball.
  7. Place the cookie dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture (1/4 cup sugar and 2 heaping teaspoons of cinnamon.)
  8. Keep the dough in the refrigerator between batches. The Cinnamon Sugar on the outside of the Snickerdoodle cookie will bake up nicer if it is applied to refrigerated dough.
  9. Bake the cookies in a 400 degree oven for 7-9 minutes.

Notes

Storage Tips
Cookies should always be stored in an airtight container.  They should be completely cooled before storing them. Cookies stored at room temperature should stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can also keep them in the refrigerator and that extends their freshness for up to a week. If you need them to last longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. You can pull them out of the freezer and leave them on the counter for 1 hour and they will be ready to eat.
