Easy Snickerdoodle Recipes

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Add the butter, 1 cup of the granulated sugar, brown sugar and egg to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium speed just to combine, about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture in 2 parts and beat on low until just combined. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Form the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon dough per cookie). Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar and coat well; arrange on two baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Do not flatten the balls, as they will spread a lot in the oven.
• Bake one sheet of cookies at a time until the tops look cracked and the center still feels soft, about 9 minutes. Let the cookies cool in the pan for 3 minutes; they will continue cooking during this time. Once they've firmed up a little, transfer them to a rack to continue cooling. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Combine 1 1/2 cups white sugar, butter or margarine, vanilla and eggs. Mix well.
• Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Blend well. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Roll dough in sugar/cinnamon mixture and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F for a non-stick cookie sheet, or 400°F for any other pan.
• Cream the butter, then add sugar and mix.
• Sift the flour,salt, and baking powder into the mixture, add egg and mix well.
• In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
• If you find your dough is a bit too sticky, throw it in the freezer for roughly 15 minutes or until firm enough to handle.
• Shape the dough into walnut size balls and roll in topping mixture.
• Place about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes (8 is usually enough, so keep an eye out).
