    WHAT ARE SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES?

    Snickerdoodle cookies are a type of sugar cookie that are fluffy and characterized by their crakes. Rolled in cinnamon and sugar together this cookies use cream of tartar to help them become super fluffy.

    INGREDIENTS FOR THE BEST SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

    • ROOM TEMP BUTTER
    • SUGAR, FLOUR
    • EGGS
    • CREAM OF TARTAR
    • BAKING SODA
    • SALT
    • FLOUR

    WHY DO I NEED TO USE CREAM OF TARTAR?

    Cream of tartar is a stabilizer in recipes, with it's mixed it allow the recipe to rise.

    WHAT CAN I USE AS A SUBSTITUTION FOR CREAM OF TARTAR?

    I haven't tried it on the specific recipe, but you can usually use 1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder in place of 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar (so that would be 3 teaspoon for this recipe of baking powder).

    HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE SOFT SNICKERDOODLES

    1. Cream your room temperature butter and sugar together with a mixer so it is nice and fluffy.
    2. Add your eggs and beat into the butter and sugar.
    3. Slowly add your dry ingredients while mixing.
    4. Chill dough for at least 15 minutes

    CINNAMON SUGAR COATING

    While your cookies are chilling you can prepare the signature cinnamon sugar coating for the dough balls.

    PROTIP: For a little added flair and fun add a little but of coarse sugar to the mix, it will also add some texture and crunch. 

    • simply mix ground cinnamon and sugar in a slow dish or plate.

    ROLLING THE DOUGH IN CINNAMON SUGAR

    1. Take your chilled dough and pull of small pieces and roll them in your palms until they are smooth. Just a few seconds. You will want them to be about 1-1 ½ inch balls
    2. Place them in your cinnamon sugar and gently press and roll so they are covered in the cinnamon sugar.

    BAKING YOUR FLUFFY SNICKERDOODLES

    On a parchment line cookie sheet evenly space  snickerdoodle dough balls.

    PROTIP: I like to use two fingers and gently press down on my cookies. I dont press them hard or make the flat, just a very slight indent before they bake so when they are done baking  are a little more of a fluffy cookie than round when they come out. 

    BAKE

    Bake you cookies for 8-10 minutes just until set!

      I tried a mixture of butter and veggie shortening and the cookies came out fine but the batter didn't set up like it would have if I used all butter.
