Snickerdoodle Cookies 

This is my daughters most requested cookie recipe. Today I thought I’d show you how easy the steps are to make these cinnamon sugar cookies, called Snickerdoodles. If you have never made them this is a must try cookie recipe! 

How to make Snickerdoodles cookies 

Step 1 Start out with making the cookie dough.

If you don’t have a mixer. Use a larger mixing bowl, and a pastry cutter. Have a second bowl handy for your flour. 

First cream your one cup butter, and 1-1/2 cups (granulated) sugar together

Step 2 Remove creamed butter from your mixing blades. I use my spatula to do this. When hand mixing it has a bowl rest, which is a nice feature. 
 
Step 3 Next add your 2 eggs, and 2 tsp. vanilla

Step 4 Mix together until completely mixed.

Step 5

In a separate bowl measure out and add

1. 2-3/4 flour
2. 1/2 tsp.salt
3. 2 tsp. baking powder

Carefully, mix together with a wisk, or fork. 

Step 6 Slowly add your flour mixture to your creamed butter, and egg mixture. I use a ice cream scoop with trigger action for this. Add slowly, until all the flour is added.

Step 7 Mix together well but, don’t over mix. You dough will look like this. 

Step 8.

In a separate mixing bowl make cinnamon sugar coating for cookie dough.

1. 1/3 cup (granulated) sugar
2. 2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix sugar, and cinnamon together well. Shape your dough balls, and coat with sugar, then flatten. Then follow the steps below. 

Steps for coating  the dough with cinnamon sugar.

Step 1. I use a smaller scoop to keep cookie ball amounts equal in size. Roll into a balls until you have your non stick sheet pan filled with them. 

Step 2. Then one by one, after smoothing rolled ball, dip each rolled cookie dough ball into cinnamon-sugar bowl.

Rolling around two times until fully coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 3 After they are rolled, and coated with sugar. Flatten each cookie with the bottom of a cup, or small bowl. 

Step 4

Repeat this process if needed for a second tray of cookies. 

Next Bake Your Snickerdoodles

When done add to pre heated oven of 400 degrees for about 12-15 minutes. Don’t over cook. 

Let cool on baking cooling racks, and serve or store in a cookie jar. 

Disclosure: I did receive the  Copper Air Bake Non Stick Cookie Sheet an ice cream scoop (with trigger comfort handle), a flexible blade spatula, and silicone spatula to try for free. Some of the products you’ll see in this post, and how I used them. I am really loving my new non cookie sheet, not only does it work great it matches my copper cookware. I am enjoying using the other products for cooking, and baking. These are my own opinions about the products I had the chance to try courtesy of T-fal.
