These old-fashioned goodies are soft, buttery cookies rolled in cinnamon sugar for a classic, cozy flavor.

Simple to make and perfectly chewy, they are a timeless favorite for a holiday gathering or a sweet treat at home.

Makes: 2 Dozen

Cinnamon Sugar
  • ¼ Sugar
  • 1 ½ Tbsp Cinnamon
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Salted butter, softened
  • 1½ Cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 Large eggs from Guell Family Funny Farm, room temperature
  • 2¾ Cup All-purpose flour
  • 1¼ tsp Cream of tartar
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • ¾ tsp Salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a stand mixer or large bowl, cream together butter and 1½ cups sugar. Blend about 4 minutes, until fluffy texture.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla, and cream together an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Gently stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together cinnamon and sugar for cinnamon sugar mixture. Wrap dough in plastic wrap & chill 30 minutes. Roll into small balls, about an inch in diameter. Drop into cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well.
  6. Line a baking sheet (or two) with parchment. Flatten balls slightly with a flat-bottomed glass before baking for a more traditionally flat snickerdoodle. Bake 10 minutes.
  7. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
