Snickerdoodle Cookies

Snickerdoodle Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature (2 sticks)
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/3 Dark Brown Sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 cups all - purpose flour
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp and 1/2 ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Topping :  1/4 cup granulated sugar and  1 tsp cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
2. Make the topping: toss 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Make the cookies: In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter for about 1 minute on medium speed. Get it nice and smooth, then add the sugars on medium speed until fluffy and light in color. Mix in egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides as needed. Set aside.
4. In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 different parts. The dough is quite thick and you may have to stir the rest by hand.
5. Roll 2 tbsp of cookie into a ball. Roll the dough balls into the reserved cinnamon-sugar topping. Sprinkle extra cinnamon-sugar on top if desired. Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes. The cookies will be very puffy and soft. When they are still very warm, lightly press down on them with the back of a spoon or fork to help flatten them out. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
