VANILLA BEAN SNICKERDOODLES RECIPE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Stop mixer and scrape down the bowl. Beat in eggs on medium speed, one at a time, beating for 1 minute between additions. Stop mixer and scrape down the bowl. Beat in vanilla extract and bean. Stop mixer and scrape down the bowl. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed until just incorporated. Stop the mixer, remove the bowl, and finish incorporating ingredients with a spatula. Refrigerate dough, in the bowl, for 30 minutes. Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. To make the topping: in a small bowl toss together cinnamon and sugar. Spoon dough into heaping tablespoonfuls and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until slightly browned around the edges. My cookies took about 11 minutes to bake. Remove from oven and cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Snickerdoodles will last, in an airtight container, at room temperature for up to 3 days. In our home, they last one day and are eaten warm from the oven. The best!

FRENCH VANILLA SNICKERDOODLES

SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• For the dough: In a large bowl, add the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, Kosher and sea salts. Mix until combined and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter on medium speed for 5 to 10 seconds. Add the sugars and beat until the butter mixture is aerated and pale in color, approximately 4 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to bring the batter together. Crack eggs into a small cup or bowl and add the vanilla. With the mixer at medium speed, add eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture, one egg at a time, mixing the first briefly before adding the second, until the batter resembles cottage cheese, approximately 5 seconds for each egg. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to bring the batter together. Mix on medium speed for 20 to 30 seconds, until just combined. Add dry ingredients all at once and mix on low speed until dough comes together but still looks shaggy, approximately 30 seconds. Do not overmix. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer. With a plastic bench scraper, bring the dough completely together by hand.
• Assemble the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line sheet pans with parchment paper. Make the coating by mixing the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, ensuring there is plenty of room in bowl to roll dough in sugar. Using an ice cream scoop, portion dough into 24 mounds and roll into balls. Coat each ball completely in cinnamon sugar. Evenly space balls on the lined sheet pans.
• Bake cookies 10-12 minutes. After 8 minutes, rotate the pan and bake until the tops are barely set and the edges are lightly golden, another 2-4 minutes. When the cookies are done, slap the pan against a hard surface to "settle" them and cool in the pan. Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to further cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
