Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups (595 ml) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons (2.5 ml) salt
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup (227 grams) butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
Sugar and Coating:
- 2 cups (400 grams) white sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the dry ingredients by sifting flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, then set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture turns pale yellow and becomes fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring thorough blending after each addition.
- Gradually fold in the flour mixture, adding about 1/2 cup at a time, until a cohesive dough forms.
- Create a separate coating mixture by combining sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Form the dough into uniform balls, approximately 1-3/4 inches in diameter.
- Roll each dough ball completely in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring full coverage.
- Arrange coated dough balls on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9-10 minutes, watching for lightly golden edges as an indicator of doneness. Adjust baking time if needed based on individual oven performance.
Notes
- Check butter temperature to ensure creamy, smooth texture; let it soften at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before mixing.
- Avoid overmixing dough to prevent tough cookies; stop mixing once ingredients are just combined for tender, soft snickerdoodles.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mat for easy cookie removal and even browning.
- Try alternative sugars like coconut sugar for a deeper caramel flavor or for low-glycemic option.
