These soft and chewy snickerdoodles feature a perfect balance of a soft center and chewy edges, coated generously in cinnamon sugar for a warm, comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon sugar coating:
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups (345 g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 1 cup (227 g) softened unsalted butter with 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon and stir well.
  7. Scoop dough with a cookie scoop or spoon (about 1 ½ tablespoons per cookie), roll into balls, then roll each ball generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  8. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers still look slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If dough is too sticky to handle, chill in the fridge for 15 minutes before rolling. Do not skip cream of tartar for authentic snickerdoodle flavor. Avoid overmixing the dough after adding flour to prevent tough cookies. Watch baking time carefully to keep cookies soft and chewy.
