How to Make Great American Cookies Snickerdoodles By Todd Wilbur

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 60 minutes).
  6. In a shallow dish, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon.
  7. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Roll about 2 ½ tablespoons of dough into a ball.
  9. Roll the dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  10. Place the coated dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Repeat steps 8-10 with the remaining dough.
  12. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will appear slightly underbaked; this is normal.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will continue to set as they cool.
  14. Enjoy! Makes approximately 16-18 cookies.
