Soft and Sweet Snickerdoodles Recipe
Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 187kcal
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup shortening I use regular, but butter flavored or half of each works too
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp whole milk
Cinnamon Sugar (to Roll the Dough in)
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and shortening on medium-high speed for 1 minute, until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, mixing after each addition, then milk and vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, soda, cream of tartar, salt and cinnamon.
- While mixer is set to low speed, slowly add dry ingredients to butter mixture. Mix until combined.
- Remove bowl from mixer and chill dough for 30 minutes. Once dough is sufficiently chilled, use a standard cookie scoop to create balls. Roll dough in hands to form balls, then roll into cinnamon sugar mixture. Place onto cookie sheet and flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass cup.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating the sheet half way through the baking process. Once cookies begin to brown, remove from oven (don't over cook them or they will be dry and crumbly).
- Let cookies cool on sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
