These soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookies are a nostalgic, comforting treat with a perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar coating and a tender, melt-in-your-mouth center. Easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups (350g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • For the cinnamon-sugar coating:
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
  7. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form dough balls about 1.5 inches (4 cm) in diameter. Roll each ball generously in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
  8. Place dough balls about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are slightly golden but centers remain soft.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

If cookies spread too much, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender. Use room-temperature eggs to avoid greasy dough. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft. Cookies can be frozen after baking or freeze dough balls and bake from frozen, adding a minute or two to baking time.
