Snickerdoodle Cookies

This week my daughter, aka “the Pinterest lover”, has been salivating over goodies she has seen on Pinterest and pleaded with me to let her make something “fun” (as she says)

Who doesn’t love a good Snickerdoodle cookies?  They are one of my favorites Mrs. Fields cookies growing up.  This recipe is perfection! A little crisp on the outside, soft on the inside.

One of the keys to making the perfect snickerdoodle is not using too much flour. Be sure to level off your measuring cup carefully. (or if you happen to have a kitchen scale, that is by far the most precise.)

Snickerdoodle Cookies Ingredients 

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1/4 tsp salt

For the topping:

2 TBSP granulated sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

How to Make Snickerdoodle Cookies

In a medium, cream the butter, brown sugar and white sugar with an electric mixer.

Add the egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.

In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.

Pour the dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the cinnamon for the topping.

Roll about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the dough into a ball.

Then roll this ball in the cinnamon & sugar mixture and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. (I like to roll them twice!)

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes.

ENJOY!!
