Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar plus 2 tablespoons divided
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cream butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy; beat in the egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar.
  • Add the flour mixture gradually into the creamed mixture, until it forms a dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and remaining sugar. Shape dough into 1-in. balls; roll in the cinnamon sugar until nicely coated. Place the dough balls 2-inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Press down in the center of the ball before baking in the oven. This helps to keep the Snickerdoodles from puffing up in the middle.
  • Bake until light brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
