How to Make Ovaltine Snickerdoodles

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. (Optional: Stir in 2 teaspoons Ovaltine powder for an intensified chocolate flavor).
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. In a shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon Ovaltine powder, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-Ovaltine sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  9. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. For chewier cookies, bake for 8 minutes. For crispier cookies, bake for 9-10 minutes.
  11. Immediately remove cookies from baking sheets to prevent burning.
  12. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving and enjoying!
