It’s easy to make these absolutely DELICIOUS snickerdoodles! These classic cookies are soft and puffy, and are coated with a cinnamon sugar topping!
I recently tried a new recipe for Snickerdoodles. I’ve been baking snickerdoodle cookies for years and years with the same old recipe, and love them!
Recently I saw a “new” recipe on a website I love that looked interesting, so I gave it a try. The blogger I got this snickerdoodles recipe from is Chris Scheuer, at The Cafe Sucré Farine. She found this recipe in a cookbook from a famous bakery in London, England.
Bakeries tend to get things right in the cookie baking department, so I knew THESE snickerdoodles just HAD to be delicious, so I made a batch. The result? Outstanding! Do you know the story behind the humble snickerdoodle cookie? It’s pretty interesting. Find out here. It’s become such a well loved American classic cookie!

↓↓ PRINTABLE RECIPE BELOW ↓↓
- 4 oz. butter , softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add eggs to the mixture. Mix well until combined.
- Add the rest of the cookie ingredients to this mixture a little at a time. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together for the coating.
- Form cookies. Use approximately a 2 Tablespoon size scoop of cookie dough, and roll it between your (clean) hands to form a ball. Place the dough ball into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and roll it in the mixture until all sides of the dough ball are coated.
- Place each coated dough ball onto parchment paper (or wax paper) lined baking sheets, about 2 inches apart from each other.
- Bake in 325 degree oven for about 12 minutes (or until the cookies are a light brown color). When done, let cookies cool on pan for a couple of minutes, then remove cookies and place them on a wire rack to cool. Cookies will crack a bit... don't worry... it's ALL GOOD.
