THE BEST SNICKERDOODLES I HAVE EVER EATEN



The Best Snickerdoodles I Have Ever Eaten image

"This must be one of the best cookies I have ever eaten." Yep, that's what my mother said the first time I ever made this cookie. It is a GREAT cookie recipe, and not difficult to make at all. I tripled the recipe and took it to school to sell... I sold all of them with in an 80 minute time span to only 4 people. They are good cookies, I can't resist them whenever I make them. And they turn out so nice whenever you bake them, it's hard to make an ugly snickerdoodle. lol. Enjoy. (prep time is estimated)

WORLD'S BEST SNICKERDOODLES



World's Best Snickerdoodles image

Title says it all. DO NOT OVERBAKE THEM, or you will be sorry. Best to pull them out when they look a little raw and let them harden a bit on the cookie sheet. I have given these as gifts, sold them, and made them for guests, but I never have any left over by the end of the day. They are also very pretty, with the nice "broken" top characteristic of Snicks.

Time 18m

Yield 36 cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla (this is an occasion worthy of GOOD vanilla!)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cream together butter and sugar.
  • Add in eggs, one at a time, along with vanilla, until well-combined.
  • Mix dry ingredients (flour, salt, soda, cream of tartar) in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredient mix into the wet mix in 2-3 stages.
  • Mix the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  • Use your hands to roll dough into little (ping-pong ball-sized) balls.
  • Roll dough-balls in the cinnamon/sugar mixture so they're covered all the way around. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 or 3 inches apart.
  • Bake 7 or 8 minutes, until they have spread out and have JUST started to turn brown. Remove from cookie sheets and place cookies on cooling rack to cool and set a little. If they're not completely cooked when they come out of the oven, let them cook a bit more on the cookie sheets, out of the oven. 7-8 minutes will make a nice, chewy cookie with a little crispness on the bottom.

1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened

THE BEST SNICKERDOODLES



The Best Snickerdoodles image

Wow ... these really are the best snickerdoodles. The cookies spread out to a perfectly thin cookie that's slightly crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. The cinnamon sugar coating has just the right amount of cinnamon. What's great about this snickerdoodle cookie recipe is that it doesn't make a ton of cookies. We got 12...

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your snickerdoodles are flavorful and delicious. Make sure to use real butter, sugar, and eggs.
