October 9th, 2008 by LaurenThese are my daughter’s favorite cookies. What feels better than tucking your child’s favorite homemade cookie into their lunch box?
Ingredients for Scrumptious Snickerdoodles
- 1 cup butter - softened
- 2 2/3 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp. cinnamon
Baking Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl and whisk it with a balloon whisk. Set aside.
- Add the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar to the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment and cream it until it is light and fluffy.
Reserve 1/4 cup sugar for later step.
- Add the eggs to the mixer and continue to mix until all is combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients that you combined earlier to the mixer on a lower speed so it doesn’t fly all over your kitchen.
- Combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.
- Take one spoonful of dough at a time and make a ball by rolling it in the palms of your clean hands.
Don’t overhandle the dough, do just enough to make a rolled ball.
- Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15-18 minutes.
Delicious!
