The Best Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 cup shortening
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Gather all ingredients before you begin.
2. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
3. Cream together the sugar, butter, shortening, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls.
6. In a small bowl or zip-top bag, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
7. Coat each dough ball thoroughly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place them 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not too hard. Switch baking racks halfway through for even baking.
9. Remove from the oven and immediately transfer the snickerdoodles to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Serve and enjoy your delicious snickerdoodle cookies!
