Description

Cream of tartar is the secret to a real snickerdoodle: tang, chew, and a crackly top. Make soft snickerdoodles that stay chewy for days.

Instructions

Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Stir the dry mix into the wet until a soft dough forms. Chill 30 minutes if the dough feels sticky.
Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line sheets with parchment.
Stir the coating sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
Roll the dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls, roll each fully in cinnamon sugar, and space 2 inches apart.
Bake 9 to 11 minutes, until the tops are set and crackled but the centers still look soft. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then move to a rack.
