This recipe delivers soft, chewy snickerdoodles with a perfect cinnamon sugar crackle, using simple pantry ingredients for a comforting homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon (2 tablespoons for rolling, 1 tablespoon for dough)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (227g) softened unsalted butter with 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon with ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar for the coating.
  7. Scoop dough into 1 ½-inch (about 3.8 cm) balls using a cookie scoop or spoon. Roll each ball generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  8. Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and eggs for smooth incorporation. Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Watch baking time closely to keep cookies soft and chewy. Fresh cinnamon enhances flavor. For gluten-free, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend with xanthan gum. For vegan, use vegan butter and flax eggs.
