The way your house smells when you have cookies packed with cinnamon buttery goodness is oh so nostalgic. Cold winter days stuck in the house in Wisconsin led to baking anything and everything that we could make. Warm cookies wafting on the cold air led friends and neighbors to check out what was going on. These cookies were always a crowd favorite. Enjoyed with a glass of eggnog or warmed milk!

Something Sweet, LLC’s Snickerdoodle Cookie

What’s better than a warm buttery, cinnamon sugary cookie with a soft center and crunchy edge.  We think there’s probably nothing.  Unless you dunk it in a big tall glass of eggnog!  Snickerdoodles remind you of a time when going to visit Granny was the ultimate destination and you’d walk into her house and smell the delicious aroma of warm cinnamon filling the air.

Here’s to Granny and creating those memories for generations to come!

PREHEAT OVEN to 350 Degrees while prepping Ingredients!

Ingredients:

1 Cup Butter

¾ Cup Sugar

½ Cup Dark Brown Sugar

1 Egg & 1 Egg Yolk

1 Tablespoon Vanilla

2 ¾ Cup Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 Teaspoon Cream of Tartar

½ Teaspoon Salt

½ Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

¼ Teaspoon Corn Starch

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

½ Cup Sugar

1 ½ Tablespoon Cinnamon

Instructions:

1.  Line your baking sheet with parchment paper (wax paper) and set it aside. (Note:  Do NOT grease pan)

2.  In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar for topping together until thoroughly combined.  Split ¼ cup of mixture into another small bowl. Set both aside.

3.  In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, salt and corn starch.

4.  In the bowl of your mixer (using the paddle attachment) cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.  This should take about 3 minutes.  Scrape the sides of your bowl down with a rubber spatula or spoon.   Making sure to scrape the bottom and turn it over.  Beat in egg and egg yolk and vanilla until thoroughly incorporated.  Again, scrape down the bowl.

5.  In two parts, slowly add flour mixture into butter mixture until just combined.  Be careful not to over mix dough.  Let dough rest 5 minutes.

6.  Use cookie scoop to scoop out 1-inch balls of cookie dough.  Using one of the topping bowls, roll balls of cookie dough into the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.  Place coated dough balls on prepared cookie sheet 2-inches apart.  Bake for 10-13 minutes (Depending on your oven) or just until the bottom edges are a nice golden brown.

7.  While cookies are still warm, using reserved cinnamon sugar, sprinkle extra topping across the top of cookies.  This gives them a little extra crunch and pretty, sparkly fun.

7.  The center of the cookie will be soft-allow cookies to rest on sheet for about 5 minutes.  They will continue to bake on warm sheet and set the rest of the way.  Remove onto wire rack to cool completely (or eat!)

Store in an airtight container if there are any left! 

Enjoy,
