Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the topping.

Step 7

Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball using your hands.

Step 8

Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar topping mixture until fully coated, then place it onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each dough ball.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the cookies appear slightly underbaked in the center. They will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Old Fashioned Snickerdoodles with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of tea!
