2 teaspoons Vanilla
2 3/4 cup Flour
1 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar

  • In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon.
  • If time allows, wrap the dough and let refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Roll into small balls until round and smooth. Drop into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well. Using a spoon, coat for a second time, ensuring the cookie balls are completely covered. *To make flatter snickerdoodles, press down in the center of the ball before placing in the oven.

SNICKERDOODLE - GREAT AMERICAN COOKIE CO. COPYCAT



Snickerdoodle - Great American Cookie Co. Copycat image

I love the original and these are close to exact. The original recipe was from a copycat website, but I have made a few adjustments to make them closer to the real thing. You will think they are undercooked when you take them out of the over, but they aren't.

COPYCAT SNICKERDOODLE CUPCAKE COOKIES



Copycat Snickerdoodle Cupcake Cookies image

Inspired by the bakery chain Crumbl's beloved flavor, these snickerdoodles are large, soft sugar cookies with a kiss of cinnamon and a cream cheese swirl topping. Cornstarch and cream of tartar in the dough keeps the cookies tender. Shaping the cookies extra thick gives them their signature height and softness. The frosted treats are amazing served warm-simply gently heat them in the microwave at half power for twenty to thirty seconds.

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
5 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Whisk the flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low between additions. Mix in the vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the dry mixture and mix on medium low until incorporated.
  • For the coating: Whisk the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside about 1 tablespoon of the mixture in a small bowl for topping the baked cookies.
  • Divide the dough into 10 pieces, about 1/3 cup each. With wet hands, shape each piece of dough into a ball and roll in the cinnamon-sugar coating, rewetting your hands as needed. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each dough ball until roughly 1 inch thick.
  • Bake until the cookies are puffed and the edges are very lightly browned, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets.
  • For the frosting: While the cookies cool, mix the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium high until combined. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt and mix on low until incorporated, then mix on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Pipe a swirl of frosting starting in the center of each cookie going outward to the edge. Top with a sprinkle of the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
