The Best Snickerdoodles I Have Ever Eaten image

"This must be one of the best cookies I have ever eaten." Yep, that's what my mother said the first time I ever made this cookie. It is a GREAT cookie recipe, and not difficult to make at all. I tripled the recipe and took it to school to sell... I sold all of them with in an 80 minute time span to only 4 people. They are good cookies, I can't resist them whenever I make them. And they turn out so nice whenever you bake them, it's hard to make an ugly snickerdoodle. lol. Enjoy. (prep time is estimated)

WORLD'S BEST SNICKERDOODLES



World's Best Snickerdoodles image

Title says it all. DO NOT OVERBAKE THEM, or you will be sorry. Best to pull them out when they look a little raw and let them harden a bit on the cookie sheet. I have given these as gifts, sold them, and made them for guests, but I never have any left over by the end of the day. They are also very pretty, with the nice "broken" top characteristic of Snicks.

Time 18m

Yield 36 cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla (this is an occasion worthy of GOOD vanilla!)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cream together butter and sugar.
  • Add in eggs, one at a time, along with vanilla, until well-combined.
  • Mix dry ingredients (flour, salt, soda, cream of tartar) in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredient mix into the wet mix in 2-3 stages.
  • Mix the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  • Use your hands to roll dough into little (ping-pong ball-sized) balls.
  • Roll dough-balls in the cinnamon/sugar mixture so they're covered all the way around. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 or 3 inches apart.
  • Bake 7 or 8 minutes, until they have spread out and have JUST started to turn brown. Remove from cookie sheets and place cookies on cooling rack to cool and set a little. If they're not completely cooked when they come out of the oven, let them cook a bit more on the cookie sheets, out of the oven. 7-8 minutes will make a nice, chewy cookie with a little crispness on the bottom.

SNICKERDOODLES

These classic, tender cookies taste of sweet butter, cinnamon - and not much else. Since ground cinnamon plays such an important role, be sure to check that it's still fresh and spicy before making these treats. The cookies' secret ingredient, cream of tartar, is an acidic salt and a byproduct of wine making. Often used to help stabilize egg whites for meringues or as the acidic component of baking powder, it helps these cookies stay soft and chewy.

Time 35m

Yield About 1 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups/180 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
10 tablespoons/140 grams unsalted butter (1 1/4 sticks), at room temperature
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary. Beat in the egg until creamy, and then add the vanilla, again scraping down the sides. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon. Roll the dough into golf-ball-size balls, then roll each one in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Transfer the dough to parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart. Bake the cookies until just set and dry in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake. Transfer each sheet to a rack to cool for a few minutes, then transfer the cookies to racks to cool completely.

  • Roll the cookies in cinnamon sugar before baking. This will give them a delicious, crunchy coating.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
