BEST Easy Snickerdoodle Recipe

Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt until well incorporated.

In the bowl of a mixer (or with a hand mixer), whip together butter, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla over medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through. Butter/sugar mixture should look creamy and fluffy.

Add egg and mix until just incorporated.

Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and combine until just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Do not over-mix.

No need to chill the dough! Roll dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls. Roll balls generously in ¼ cup sugar mixed with cinnamon, and then place at least 2 inches apart on the lined baking sheet.

Bake for 9-12 minutes until the cookies are just set and the edges are light golden.

Let cookies cool for 5 minutes before devouring or placing on a wire rack to cool completely!
