Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces unsalted butter (softened, not melted)
8 ounces granulated sugar
4 ounces light brown sugar
1 whole egg (room temperature)
1 egg yolk (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
14 ounces All purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon cream of tartar (see blog post for substitutes)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ounces granulated sugar
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring the butter and eggs to room temperature (slightly warm).
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the softened butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. See above for pictures. You can also use a hand mixer, you'll just have to mix for longer.
  • Add in the egg and egg yolk and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and creamy. This gives lift to the cookies and will cause them to rise and fall, creating those beautiful cracks.
  • Add in the baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix for 1 minute on medium, scraping the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the flour and mix on low until just combined.
  • Combine your cinnamon and sugar in a medium bowl, stir evenly to combine.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop to make 2-Tablespoon sized dough balls. Roll each into a ball shape and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. I only coat the top in cinnamon sugar, but you can roll the entire ball if desired.
  • Place the cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and let your cookies rest at room temperature for 20 minutes while the oven heats up. This prevents over-spreading but it's optional.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, 10 if you want soft cookies, 12 if you want the edges to be slightly crispy.
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store at room temperature for about 4 days.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter. This will help the cookies spread and bake evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the cookies, making them chewy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cookies from becoming too dry.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them firm up and prevent them from breaking.

Snickerdoodles are a classic cookie that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect chewy snickerdoodle cookie that will be a hit at any party or gathering.
