  • Cooking Method: Baking
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 12 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: American

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp beaten egg
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar, for rolling

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. No, you cannot skip the parchment paper. Trust me.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tbsp of sugar and 1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon. This is your magic dust. Set it aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and remaining 2 tbsp granulated sugar until smooth. No lumps allowed!
  4. Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Stir until fully incorporated. Sing a little tune if it helps.
  5. Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and remaining 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon in a separate bowl. Mix well.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until a dough forms. Restrain yourself from eating the dough (or don’t, no judgment).
  7. Roll the dough into a ball, then roll the ball in the cinnamon-sugar mix until it’s coated like a snowy hill at Christmas.
  8. Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet and gently press it down to flatten slightly.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and the center is soft. Your kitchen will smell like a holiday wonderland.
  10. Let the snickerdoodle cool on a rack. It will be challenging, but patience makes it taste even better!

Suggestions

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon-sugar mix for a spicy surprise!
  • Garnishing: Drizzle some melted white chocolate over the cooled cookie for added sweetness and visual appeal.
  • Cooking Tip: Mix the dough just until combined to keep the cookie soft and chewy. Over-mixing is no bueno.
  • Alternative Ingredients: Substitute half the butter with applesauce for a slightly healthier treat.
