Snickerdoodle Cookies #

Ingredients #

• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 1 cup softened butter 
• 2 large eggs
• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Coating:

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions #

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.

Beat together white sugar, butter, and eggs in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture until dough holds together.

Mix together white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined.

Form dough into balls (about 2 teaspoons in each ball), then roll in cinnamon-sugar coating. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven on the center rack for 7 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
