How To Make snickerdoodles

  • 1
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter on high for 30 seconds, with an electric mixer.
  • 2
    Beat in the sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Beat until thoroughly combined.
  • 3
    Mix in the flour. If you use a wooden spoon in conjunction with the electric mixer it will make the dough come together quickly and easily.

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for 1 hour.
  • 5
    Preheat oven to 375°. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
  • 6
    Remove the dough from the refrigerator and shape the dough into 1 inch balls.
  • 7
    Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
  • 8
    Place balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 9
    Bake at 375° for 10-11 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  • 10
    Cool cookies on cooling rack.
