These thick, chewy snickerdoodle cookies feature a double cinnamon sugar coating that creates a sweet, crackly crust and soft, tender centers. Perfect for beginners, they offer a nostalgic flavor with a satisfying texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the cinnamon sugar coating:
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and granulated sugar for the coating.
  7. Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, portion dough into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture twice for a double coating.
  8. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill dough for 15-20 minutes before baking. Double rolling the dough balls in cinnamon sugar creates a crackly crust. Use room temperature butter and eggs for best texture. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even heat distribution. Fresh cinnamon is preferred for best flavor.
