GRANDMA RUTH'S SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
• Beat 1 1/2 cups white sugar, butter, and eggs together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture until dough holds together.
• Mix 2 tablespoons white sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
• Form dough into 2-teaspoon-size balls and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place dough balls, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the center rack for 7 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES RECIPE WITH CREAM OF TARTAR

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring the butter and eggs to room temperature (slightly warm).
• In the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the softened butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. See above for pictures. You can also use a hand mixer, you'll just have to mix for longer.
• Add in the egg and egg yolk and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and creamy. This gives lift to the cookies and will cause them to rise and fall, creating those beautiful cracks.
• Add in the baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix for 1 minute on medium, scraping the sides of the bowl.
• Add the flour and mix on low until just combined.
• Combine your cinnamon and sugar in a medium bowl, stir evenly to combine.
• Use a medium cookie scoop to make 2-Tablespoon sized dough balls. Roll each into a ball shape and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. I only coat the top in cinnamon sugar, but you can roll the entire ball if desired.
• Place the cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and let your cookies rest at room temperature for 20 minutes while the oven heats up. This prevents over-spreading but it's optional.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, 10 if you want soft cookies, 12 if you want the edges to be slightly crispy.
• Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store at room temperature for about 4 days.
