Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter (1¼ sticks), at room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Method

  1. Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl.
  2. Beat the room-temperature butter with the ¾ cup of granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until a soft dough forms, then chill the dough briefly so it is easy to roll.
  4. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar with the ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  5. Roll the dough into balls, coat each one thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar and space them out on lined baking sheets.
  6. Bake the snickerdoodles at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops have cracked, then cool them on the sheet before moving them.
