SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and 1 1/2 cups of the sugar together until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Then beat in the eggs and scrape the bowl. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture until well combined.
• Mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Use a 1 1/2-tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out the dough balls. Roll each ball in your hands to even out, then roll in the cinnamon sugar to thoroughly coat.
• Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake until just golden around the edges, 8 to 9 minutes. Cool for several minutes on the baking sheets before moving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar and the eggs and mix thoroughly with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, and stir into the shortening mixture.
• In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon.
• Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (1 tablespoon per ball), and roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar. Arrange the dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake two sheets at a time until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still soft, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Transfer the cookies to wire racks for cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Add the butter, 1 cup of the granulated sugar, brown sugar and egg to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium speed just to combine, about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture in 2 parts and beat on low until just combined. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Form the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon dough per cookie). Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar and coat well; arrange on two baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Do not flatten the balls, as they will spread a lot in the oven.
• Bake one sheet of cookies at a time until the tops look cracked and the center still feels soft, about 9 minutes. Let the cookies cool in the pan for 3 minutes; they will continue cooking during this time. Once they've firmed up a little, transfer them to a rack to continue cooling. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

• In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the ground cinnamon. Use a small (1 1/4-ounce) ice-cream scoop to form balls of the dough, and roll in cinnamon sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are set in center and begin to crack (they will not brown), about 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheets after 5 minutes.
