Classic, simple, delicious Snickerdoodle Cookies

These delicious Snickerdoodle cookies have a very basic recipe with very simple ingredients. These cookies are the classic soft and chewy snickerdoodle with a wrinkled and sandy surface.

This recipe uses all the ingredients that a classic Snickerdoodle cookies recipe needs. That includes butter, sugar, egg, flour, vanilla, and cinnamon.
One item that may not be used in any ordinary cookie recipe is Cream of Tartar. Cream of tartar, when in contact with baking soda, acts similar to baking powder. It also contributes to the cookie's chewiness.

This basic recipe, such as stuffed snickerdoodle cookies or caramel versions, can be modified and stuffed.
The amount of cinnamon is totally up to you. You can roll them in the cinnamon sugar twice for a more spicy flavour.
This cookie dough requires no chill time, which saves you time when making it!

How To Make These Snickerdoodle Cookies

Start by whisking all the dry ingredients, including flour, cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Make sure all is well blended.
Cream the butter and sugar until creamy and light.
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Mix in the dry ingredients. The dough may seem dry initially, but mix it with a spatula for smooth dough. Do not overmix the dough!
Roll the dough into small balls, roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture, and bake.
