Snickerdoodles have never been better, and there is no acidic cream of tartar in this recipe. They are chewy, soft, buttery, and coated in cinnamon sugar. Double or triple this recipe for even more goodness!
½cupunsalted buttersoftened to room temperature (1 stick)
⅓cupgranulated sugar
2tablespoonsbrown sugar
1eggroom temperature
¼teaspoonvanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Coating (for rolling)
1tablespoongranulated sugar
1 ½teaspoonscinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 °F, and prepare a cookie baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes (for thin chewy snickerdoodles as pictured), or 4-5 minutes (for thicker snickerdoodles).
Add the egg and vanilla extract, beat until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients that were whisked together earlier. Beat together until all the flour has absorbed into the dough.
Place the dough into the refrigerator for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 15 minutes.
In a small, shallow bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
Scoop the cookie dough into 1 to 2 tablespoon sized balls and roll until they are a perfect sphere. Then roll the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon sugar coating.
Place the snickerdoodle dough balls on the prepared cookie baking sheet 2 inches apart. Continue rolling until all the cookie dough is used.
Bake for 8 to 11 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer snickerdoodles to a rack lined baking sheet to cool completely.
