GRANDMA'S SNICKERDOODLES

My Grandma's Snickerdoodles are a perfect rendition of the classic: tender butter cookies with a cinnamon sugar crust. Be warned, though, they are completely irresistible.

Provided by Rebecca Lindamood

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter (softened)
1 1/2 cups and 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar (separated)
2 eggs
2 3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Cream together the butter, 1 1/2 cups of sugar and eggs until smooth. In a separate bowl, use a whisk or fork to combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until well combined. Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes but up to 24 hours before working with it.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheets with silpats or parchment paper.
  • Use a fork to combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar with the 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
  • Use a small disher (cookie scoop) or teaspoons to scoop about 2 teaspoons of cookie dough, roll it into a ball and then roll them in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Place the cookies 2-inches apart on the cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned but still soft. Let them rest on the cookie sheets for one minute before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

This recipe from my German Grandma makes the best Snickerdoodles. They are my kids favorite cookie. If you like them chewy like we do, cook them until the edges just start to brown, otherwise you'll have a crunchy cookie.

3 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Tips:

  • Soften the butter: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar, resulting in a smoother, more flavorful dough.
  • Chill the dough: This will help the cookies hold their shape better while baking.
  • Use a rounded teaspoon to scoop the dough: This will ensure that the cookies are all uniform in size and shape.
  • Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture: This will give the cookies their signature cracked appearance and delicious flavor.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and dry.

Conclusion:

Grandma Larson's Snickerdoodles are a classic cookie recipe that is sure to please everyone. They are soft, chewy, and full of flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make these cookies perfect every time.
