These snickerdoodle cookies are the ultimate fall treat, combining warm sugar and spice in a tender cookie that's simply irresistible. With a delicious cinnamon sugar coating, they are sure to be the cookies everyone raves about!
1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2: In a standard mixer, mix the butter and sugar together for a few minutes.
3: Add the eggs and vanilla, then mix until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
4: Pour in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined.
5: In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 cup sugar with 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon.
6: Using a cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons), portion out the cookie dough and roll it into a ball.
7: Roll the cookie dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place onto the baking sheet.
8: Ensure cookies are set a few inches apart, then bake in the oven at 350°F for 12-14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.
9: The edges should be barely golden, and the center of the cookies should be puffed up and no longer shiny.
10: Remove from the oven and place trays on cooling racks. Sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar and a little flaked sea salt while warm. Enjoy!
