Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
For the rolling mixture:
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
For the Browned Butter:
- Melt butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Continue to cook butter and allow it to slowly brown until it turns a dark golden color with specs throughout.
- Turn off heat and allow it to cool completely.
For the Cookie Dough:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Next add cooled butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla to a medium sized bowl and whisk ingredients together.
- Next whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into the wet mixture until smooth. Place the final dough in the refrigerator to cool for about 30 minutes until firm but still easily workable.
- Whisk together cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Scoop balls of dough using #40 scoop (or 1 1/2 tablespoons) of dough then dip them in the sugar mixture and place on a baking sheet, each an inch apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until baked through but still chewy and serve. I love them warm!
Notes
How to Store
Fresh snickerdoodle cookies should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature with a slice of bread. The cookies will absorb moisture from the bread, helping them maintain their chewiness. When stored properly, they'll last up to a week.Can I freeze them?
Freeze Snickerdoodle cookies in a freezer-safe resealable bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.Nutrition
