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.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
    • For the coating
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. 1
    Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
  3. 3
    Stir the dry mix into the wet until a soft dough forms. Chill 30 minutes if the dough feels sticky.
  4. 4
    Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line sheets with parchment.
  5. 5
    Stir the coating sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  6. 6
    Roll the dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls, roll each fully in cinnamon sugar, and space 2 inches apart.
  7. 7
    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.
