Everyone loves to munch on some cookies while they hang out with family and friends or watch a movie around Christmas. Snickerdoodle cookies are one of those must-haves at Christmas-time. Here is the recipe for the delicious snickerdoodle cookies from Modern Honey.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
For the cinnamon-sugar mixture:
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, just until combined. In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon. If time allows, wrap the dough and let refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Roll into small balls until round and smooth. Drop into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well. Using a spoon, coat for a second time, ensuring the cookie balls are completely covered. *To make flatter snickerdoodles, press down in the center of the ball before placing in the oven. This helps to keep them from puffing up in the middle.* Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Let cool for several minutes on baking sheet before removing from the pan.
