Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies (without cream of tartar)
Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies are soft, chewy, and coated in cinnamon sugar, baked until puffy for a delightful treat.
Equipment
- Oven
- mixing bowl
- mixer
- cookie sheet
- Cookie Dough Scoop
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar (light brown sugar will work too)
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
- In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together room temperature butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Next, add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Scrape down sides of the bowl as necessary.
- With mixer on low-speed, gradually add the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until incorporated, do not over-mix!
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in freezer for 15 minutes to chill. Can also place in the refrigerator if you plan on making the cookies later.
- To make the cinnamon sugar, mix 3 tablespoons sugar and 2 ½ teaspoons cinnamon in a bowl.
- Measure about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough using a cookie dough scoop, roll into a ball and then roll in cinnamon sugar and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, watching carefully to avoid over-baking.
- Cookies will look puffy when they are done, remove from oven and let cool slightly on baking sheet then move to wire rack to cool completely. Cookies will flatten a little as they cool.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps in rolling it into balls effectively.
