These soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookies use brown sugar to add a rich caramel flavor and a cozy cinnamon kick, making them irresistibly delicious and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (330 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon sugar topping: 2 tablespoons cinnamon mixed with ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Avoid over-mixing.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and granulated sugar for the topping.
  7. Scoop dough balls about 1.5 tablespoons each and roll them gently in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  8. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underdone when removed from the oven to ensure softness. Cream butter and sugar well to incorporate air for a chewy texture. Use room temperature eggs and butter for easier mixing. Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Cream of tartar is essential for authentic snickerdoodle texture and flavor.
