Without a doubt, my favorite cookies are Snickerdoodle, and especially when they are just perfect, soft and yummy.
I have made many cookies over the years and some recipes are ok, some don't come out as great, and this one is by far my go to, and my absolute favorite Snickerdoodle recipe. They are no fail, always turn out amazing and are so easy to make.
I don't know where I got it from, over the years I have scribbled recipes on pieces of paper and notebooks, when I am scrolling online or on social media. Wherever it came from, it is the best Snickerdoodle, truly.
Snickerdoodle Cookie
Ingredients:
2 sticks of butter (1 cup)
1 and 1/3 cups of sugar
1/3 cups of brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 and 1/4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and a 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon of salt
Cinnamon sugar to roll cookies in
Method:
Preheat oven to 375 ° F.
In a stand mixer, beat the butter and the sugars until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix. Add the flour a little at a time, then the baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Mix well but don't overbeat, you just want everything mixed together.
The size of the cookies depends on you. I just grabbed small bits of dough about the size of a golf ball, rolled into a ball and then rolled them in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Place on a greased baking sheet, and then slightly flatten.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
