No, no. I mean it. These guys are soft in the middle, chewy-crunchy on the edges and cinnamony all over the place. That, my friends–spells perfectly perfect. You may just find yourself stuffing a couple of these in your purse, and skipping down the road singing a few bars of, “Oh, happy day…”
And rightly so.
Perfectly Perfect Snickerdoodles
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2tsp. vanilla
—————————-
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt, and set aside. Cream butter and brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar on medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Slowly add flour mixture and beat on low just until mixed.
Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon in a bowl. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then in the cinnamon sugar. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool slightly before moving to cooling rack.
Go get ’em.
Return with honor.

Oh man I wish I would have known you had this recipe about a dozen cravings ago. I’ve never found one I really like but I believe this will take care of that.
These look so yummy! I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve made snickerdoodles! Mine use to keep like a hump in them, they didn’t spread out like these look, any ideas why?? They still tasted great but these LOOK better! 🙂
How come you never call me when you are making cookies? Huh? I am waiting…
Oh wow, one of my all time favorite cookies!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I think I feel a craving coming on!!!
Or…if you hurry over to my place, I could share. :}
I’ve had other recipes do that too–but not this one. It’s good. Maybe leave them on the pan for a few minutes so they can finish cooking. That might help. :]
Hey Ka–thy! We have cookies! For a few minutes anyway…
Do it man…
yUUUm! Snickerdoodles are one of my VERY favorite cookies EVER! 😀
I agree! Made them this afternoon with my daughter. Thanks for the recipe.
