Snickerdoodles!!

Today I am making snickerdoodles!! These cookies are classics and I am a bit obsessed with them. These cookies are texturized by the cinnamon sugar and the flavor is amazing. I love making them and I'm sure you will too. I've always loved Snickerdoodles, but never thought of making them myself so I'm excited to share with you how I made them today.

I also feel like a good cookie can solve almost anything. I love escaping the stress of upcoming finals to make cookies and then eat some warm, straight out of the oven. I also love bringing them to my friends because, who doesn't love cookies? One of the best things about baking is sharing your creations with others.

I got the recipe from a blog called cookies and cups. Here it is, straight from their website!:)

Author: Cookies & Cups

Serves: 20 large cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• 1 egg, plus 1 yolk
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2¾ cup flour

Cinnamon Sugar

• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°
2. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper, set aside.
3. In bowl of stand mixer beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. With mixer on medium speed add in egg, yolk and vanilla and beat for another minute, scraping the sides as necessary.
4. Turn mixer to medium low and mix in baking soda, cream of tartar, salt and 1 tsp cinnamon. Mix for 30 seconds, scraping sides as necessary.
5. Turn mixer to low and add in flour, mixing until just combined.
6. In a separate small bowl make your Cinnamon Sugar by mixing together cinnamon and sugar, stirring until evenly combined.
7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, measure out about 2 Tbsp of dough and roll into a ball. Then roll each cookie dough ball into the Cinnamon Sugar mixture.
8. Place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, turning cookie sheet halfway through baking.
9. *I baked mine for exactly 10 minutes every time I make these cookies with perfect results, but I know ovens vary, so bake only until the edges are slightly golden. The tops may seem slightly undercooked, but they will firm up perfectly when they cool. If you prefer a crisper cookie, bake for 2 additional minutes.
