This may be my most baked cookie recipe. These snickerdoodle cookies are soft and full of cinnamon flavor. The use of almond extract instead of vanilla gives it a nice almond flavor that compliments the cinnamon.

The cream of tartar gives the snickerdoodle it’s trademark tang and chewiness.  The perfect soft and puffy texture.

Ingredients Needed

  • Butter
  • Sugar, granulated sugar and brown sugar
  • Eggs
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Cream of Tarter
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Cinnamon
  • Extract, almond or vanilla

How to Make Snickerdoodles

  • Cream butter and sugar, beating well so that it is light and fluffy. 
  • Add eggs and mix to combine.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined, don’t over mix your cookie dough, it will make it tough.
  • Form the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball or slightly smaller and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture. 
  • Place dough 2 inches apart on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

  • Bake at 350 degree F. until the edges begin to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. You want them to be soft and chewy  Do not over bake.

Tips

  • Use a cookie scoop to make sure the cookies are all the same size. This helps them bake evenly.
  • Allow cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes and then move them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
  • If you want to try something new, add 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
  • You can use the parchment paper for more than one batch of cookies, I usually use mine for 4-6 batches, turning it over half way through the batches.

    Would your gluten-free flour mix be an appropriate substitution? If so, would the measurements remain the same? Thank you!

      It should work great and yes, you use it cup for cup. Enjoy.

    I love this recipe; I can’t count how many times I have made it! I made it for a Stake Faith in God Activity this weekend (a double batch and they were the first kind gone), and am making more this week for my son’s baptism. This is a really good snickerdoodle recipe, but the toffee really makes them stand out! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!
