Snickerdoodle Cookies

I've made Snickerdoodles before, but this batch is irresistible—soft in the center, and slightly crisp on the edges. The cinnamon and sugar blend? Absolutely divine! What is a Snickerdoodle

Servings: 40 cookies

Ingredients

Cookies

• 1 cup butter (2 sticks) softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Topping

• 8 tbsp granulated sugar (or 1/2 cup)
• 4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

In a bowl, cream softened butter and sugars together, then add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the cookie ingredients. Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 - 60 minutes. Combine the topping sugar and cinnamon together.
