Easy Snickerdoodle Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Snickerdoodle Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or give it a light greasing to ensure your cookies don’t stick.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together white sugar, softened butter, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy—this is where the magic begins! In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

4. Step 4

   Gradually add this dry mixture to your creamy butter blend, stirring until a delightful dough forms.

5. Step 5

   Now, let’s add a touch of sweetness! In a small bowl, combine some extra white sugar with cinnamon, mixing them until they’re well blended.

6. Step 6

   It’s time to shape your cookies! Scoop about 2 teaspoons of dough and roll it into a little ball, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they’re evenly coated for that perfect sweet crunch.

7. Step 7

   Place your coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart so they have room to spread.

8. Step 8

   Pop them in the oven and bake for about 7 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely light golden brown.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes—this helps them set just right—before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Step 10

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the deliciousness that awaits!.
