Hometown Snickerdoodles
Ingredients
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups sugar
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
Extra:
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Using a handheld mixer on medium speed, beat 1½ cups sugar and the butter together in a medium bowl until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add 2 teaspoons cinnamon and the vanilla; beat for 1 minute more.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add reserved dry ingredients; mix on low speed until just combined.
Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
When ready to bake: preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine “Extra” sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Remove dough from refrigerator and, using a 1 Tablespoon measure, spoon about 48 portions, rolling each portion into a 1-inch ball as you go.
Roll each ball in cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
Arrange dough balls 2 inches apart on 2 parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Bake until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer to rack and let cool.
