BEST Snickerdoodles

Oh my heavens, these cookies are to die for!  I love snickerdoodles, & these are for sure the BEST ones!  The cream of tartar really helps keep them soft & delicious.  The original recipe was double this, & didn't have vanilla, but I am glad I halved the recipe because I ate well more than my fair share.  They are that hard to stop eating!  YUM!

BEST Snickerdoodles

Recipe altered from My Baking Addiction by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

Cookie:

• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (or margarine)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Coating:

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

1. Mix the cream of tartar, flour, salt & baking soda in a bowl.  In a stand mixer, cream sugar & butter.  Scrape bowl.  Add egg & vanilla.  Scrape bowl.  Add dry ingredients until incorporated well.
2. Scoop dough into balls with a cookie scoop. (I use a #50 scoop, about 1 1/2-inch balls.)  In a separate bowl combine sugar & cinnamon for coating.  Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture & place on a greased cookie sheet.
3. Bake at 350*F for 10-12 minutes (*If your pan is seasoned/dark it will take less time, or you can pull them sooner for an even softer delicious cookie.)

Makes 2 dozen small cookies
