Snickerdoodles

After 35 years of marriage, I just learned that Snickerdoodles are my husbands favorite cookie!  Go figure!!

We tried 3 recipes and this was our favorite.

Cookie Dough:

1 cup of butter, softened

1 1/2 cups sugar

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy – about 3 minutes.

2 eggs

Add eggs and cream for about 2 more minutes.  Creaming the dough at this point will give you a soft chewy cookie.

3 cups flour

2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp. baking powder

1/8 tsp. salt

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Add to the butter mixture.

Mix until all ingredients are combined.

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

3 T. sugar

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar.

Roll the dough into balls and roll it around in the cinnamon sugar.

 cooking spray

Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.  Place cookie on cookie sheet – don’t set them too close together.  You want them to have room to spread out without touching each other.

Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes, or until the edges crack.

Let them sit on the cookie sheet and cool for a bit before removing them to a cooling rack.
