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
- 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.
- 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.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and remaining 2 tbsp granulated sugar until smooth. No lumps allowed!
- Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Stir until fully incorporated. Sing a little tune if it helps.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and remaining 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon in a separate bowl. Mix well.
- 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).
- 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.
- Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet and gently press it down to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and the center is soft. Your kitchen will smell like a holiday wonderland.
- 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.
