Snickerdoodle Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking pad.

Step 2

Cream butter with sugar for about 2 to 3 minutes at medium speed, using a stand mixer, until it's light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat until well incorporated.

Step 3

Add and mix dry ingredients in a few batches to avoid a flour storm. Stir with a spatula to make sure you get everything at the bottom of the bowl.

Step 4

Use a medium cookie scoop (size of 2 tablespoons) and scoop out the dough into balls. Roll with your hands until round and smooth. In a small bowl, combine the sugar with cinnamon. Roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until completely covered, then place on a cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart.

Step 5

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes and allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
