Easy Old Fashioned Snickerdoodle Cookies
These old fashioned snickerdoodle cookies are easy to make, soft and chewy, and perfect! The cinnamon and sugar coating is oh so satisfying and the cookies practically dissolve in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Mix thoroughly: butter (or margarine), eggs, and sugar.
- Stir in sifted flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Roll into balls the size of walnuts or use a medium cookie dough scoop. Then roll in a mixture of cinnamon & sugar.
- Place about 2 inches apart on a sprayed cookie sheet.
- Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned but still soft.
Notes
If you want just a touch of crunch on the rim of the cookie while keeping the middle soft, I recommend going 10 minutes. If you like your cookies a little more well done, bake closer to 12 minutes.
After you pull the cookie sheet out of the oven, let the cookies cool at least 5 minutes before trying to move them to a cooling rack.
