Snickerdoodle Cookies

My wife made these cookies and they were, by far, the best snickerdoodle cookies I’ve every had. The original recipe can be found here.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
• 1 1/2 cups Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 2 3/4 cup Flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture

• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer.
3. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, just until combined.
4. In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon.
5. If time allows, wrap the dough and let refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Roll into small balls until round and smooth. Drop into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well. Using a spoon, coat for a second time, ensuring the cookie balls are completely covered.
6. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Let cool for several minutes on baking sheet before removing from the pan.
