This snickerdoodle cookies recipe is soft, chewy, with the wonderful flavor of cinnamon. And they are perfect with a glass of cold milk. They are so easy to make, you'll have to make another batch.
Dry ingredients - In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
2½ cups All-purpose flour, 1 tsp Baking soda, 1½ tsp Cream of Tartar, ½ tsp Salt
Wet ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment(or hand mixer), cream the unsalted butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and egg yolk, followed by the flour mixture. Combine well, but do not overmix.
1 cup Unsalted Butter, 1½ cup Granulated sugar, 1 large Egg, 1 large Egg yolk
Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for an hour or until firm enough to roll into balls.
Oven: Preheat the oven at 375°F / 190°C / Gas Mark 5
Coating - Combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside. Roll and shape dough into golf-size or 1 1/2-inch balls. Drop the balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well.
¼ cup Granulated sugar, 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
Bake: Arrange the coated balls on a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet, about 3 inches apart, leaving enough space for them to rise. Bake for about 10 - 12 minutes.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to the wire rack to cool completely.
Store: When cooled, transfer to an airtight container. These cookies will stay fresh for up to 7 days at room temperature. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
