These chewy snickerdoodle cookies are absolutely delicious. Rolled in a cinnamon and sugar coating to really give them that extra flavor!
Grab your mixer and let’s get started:
1.Pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a mixing bowl. Cream this together until smooth.
2. Next, add in the 2 eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda and salt. Mix this together until smooth.
3. Then, add in the (1 tsp) ground cinnamon. This is what separates a snickerdoodle from a regular sugar cookie, well that and the cinnamon sugar topping!
4. Finally, add in the flour. I like to mix 1/2 cup in at a time just so it doesn’t get clumpy. Then, form the dough into about 18 1-inch balls.
5. Set the cookie dough aside and make the cinnamon sugar topping. This will be what you roll your snickerdoodle dough balls into. Combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 Tbsp of ground cinnamon together in a small bowl. Whisk this together.
6.Roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon and sugar topping, then place it in on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, with the palm of your hand, lightly flatten them down just a little. This helps them cook evenly in the oven.
7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they edges start to turn golden brown. I also like to rotate the pan half-way through the cooking time to allow even cooking.
8. Allow them to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or plate. Easier said then done, especially in my family! If my hubby is around when I’m making cookies, a lot of the time, the cookies never make it to the oven…lol! (Please note, do not eat raw cookie dough, it could make you sick.)
