Recipe for Snickerdoodles?!

cookies

* 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



Directions:

Prep Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 18 mins

1. 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. 2 Cream together butter and sugar.
3. 3 Add in eggs, one at a time, along with vanilla, until well-combined.
4. 4 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.
5. 5 Mix the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon together in a small bowl.
6. 6 Use your hands to roll dough into little (ping-pong ball-sized) balls.
7. 7 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.
8. 8 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.

Delicious and easy cinnamony sugar cookies that are perfect for the holidays and all winter long.

Ingredients
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup [2 sticks] unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar*

*Mix three tablespoons sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
Combine flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy, add sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes with an electric mixer. Add eggs, milk and vanilla, beat slowly at first until the liquid starts to become incorporated, then beat well until combined, scraping the bowl occasionally. Add flour mixture, gradually beating until combined. Scrape the bowl to make sure that all of the flour is incorporated. The dough may be refrigerated at this time to make it easier to work with because it is a soft dough, but this step is not necessary. Form dough into golf ball sized balls, roll in cinnamon sugar, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten the cookies with the bottom of a glass to about 1/4" thickness. Bake for 11-14 minutes until golden. Remove from pans and cool.
