Description

These Snickerdoodles are soft, chewy, and perfectly spiced with cinnamon-sugar. With a buttery texture and signature tangy flavor, these classic cookies are easy to make and absolutely irresistible!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening (for extra softness!)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar (for the signature tang!)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Make the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, beat together butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  2. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.

Step 3: Roll & Coat in Cinnamon-Sugar

  1. In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup sugar and 1 ½ tbsp cinnamon.
  2. Roll dough into 1 ½-inch balls, then coat them evenly in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  3. Place balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake the Cookies

  1. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  2. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Serve warm with milk, coffee, or hot cocoa.
  2. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Serving Suggestions

  • With Ice Cream: Sandwich vanilla ice cream between two cookies! 🍦
  • With Coffee or Tea: A perfect afternoon treat. ☕
  • As Holiday Gifts: Package in cute bags for a homemade gift! 🎁

Notes

  • Want them extra chewy? Use all butter instead of shortening.
  • Prefer crispier cookies? Bake for an extra 1-2 minutes.
  • No cream of tartar? Substitute with 2 tsp baking powder (though the flavor will change slightly).
  • Make ahead! Freeze dough balls for up to 3 months—just bake straight from frozen!
