These are one of those holiday cookies that really stand the test of time, so here is my favorite recipe for Snickerdoodles. I prefer to use all butter because it keeps the cookies nice and soft. I also roll them in a generous amount of sugar and cinnamon to give them that true Snickerdoodle look and taste. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 ¾ all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. In a large bowl mix the sugar, butter and eggs. Then stir in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt until thoroughly combined.
3. Pinch the dough into 1 1/2 round balls. Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and roll each dough ball in it.
4. Place the balls on a cookie sheet 2 inches apart and bake for 10 minutes, or until set.
