Recipe for Snickerdoodles

This is a simple and easy recipe for snickerdoodles.

What are snickerdoodles?

Snickerdoodles are cookies which resemble sugar cookies - however they are not sugar cookies! The dough is made with cream of tartar and then it is rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking.

As to the origin of the snickerdoodle cookie, it seems that no one really knows. Snickerdoodle cookies' origin has been attributed to:

Germans

Dutch

Americans - New Englanders to be precise

But then again, who cares where cookies come from as long as they taste good, don't you agree?

Make a batch - and then watch it disappear....fast. Don't forget to come back and leave a review or even a recipe of your own.

Best Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe: Method

In a medium size bowl, place the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Combine thoroughly with a whisk. Set aside.

With a stand mixer - or a hand held mixer - cream the butter, shortening and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time and blend well after each addition. Cream until your mixture is light in color and texture.

Add the flour and vanilla and combine well. Place the dough in fridge for about one hour.

Use the remaining sugar - 3/4 cup - and the cinnamon and combine well.

Take out of the fridge and roll the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Roll each ball in the sugar-cinnamon mixture and place on a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart.

Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
