What are Snickerdoodles?
Snickerdoodles are soft and chewy sugar cookies that are coated in cinnamon and sugar! Snickerdoodle cookies have a signature slightly tangy flavor and ultra soft and chewy texture thanks to the addition of cream of tartar and brown sugar in the dough.
Ingredients for Snickerdoodles:
Unsalted Butter: bring the butter to room temperature so it mixes easily with the sugars. Granulated Sugar and Brown Sugar: Snickerdoodles utilize both sugars to add sweetness but the addition of brown sugar provides more moisture for a softer, chewier texture. Egg Vanilla Extract All-Purpose Flour: for the best results, I recommend weighing your flour so you don’t have too much or too little. You can also lightly fluff and scoop it into the measuring cup with a spoon so it doesn’t get too packed in. Cream of Tartar: one of the key ingredients that sets Snickerdoodle cookies apart from classic sugar cookies. The cream of tartar gives the cookies an extra chewy texture and adds a subtle tangy flavor. Baking Soda: helps prevent the cookies from flattening out too much as they bake. Granulated Sugar and Cinnamon: coats the cookie dough balls before the baked for the signature Snickerdoodle finish.

Tips and tricks for Snickerdoodle cookies
Line the baking sheet. I always line the baking sheet with parchment paper before baking the cookies. This makes for easier cleanup and Weigh the flour. This recipe yields a thick cookie that is still soft. The best way to get the perfect chewy Snickerdoodle texture is to weigh the flour so you get exactly the right amount. Too much flour and you’ll get a dry, crumbly cookie. If you accidentally add too much flour and the dough is to dry to roll into balls, don’t worry! You can work in 1 teaspoon of oil at a time until the dough is moist enough that it can be rolled into balls. For a thinner Snickerdoodle, you can use 1 ¾ cups of flour instead of the full 2 cups.
