How to Make Super Soft Snickerdoodle Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups 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 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
  7. While the dough chills, prepare the cinnamon-sugar topping: In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
  8. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  9. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  10. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  11. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Enjoy your warm, delicious snickerdoodles!
