Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 5 days. Do not bake with unchilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading.

Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet) and bake for about 9 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked, pale, and glossy in the center; don’t overbake for soft, pillowy cookies. For firmer cookies, bake a minute or two longer. Cookies firm up as they cool.

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don’t use a rack.

BEST Soft and Chewy Snickerdoodles

butter (softened)

brown sugar

eggs

flour

salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and very lightly grease a baking sheet or line with a baking mat.

In a small bowl stir together 1/4 cup sugar and 3 teaspoons cinnamon and set aside.

To make the cookie dough, cream together butter and sugar for 2 minutes until very light and fluffy.

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Blend in vanilla.

Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until dough comes together and there are no more streaks of flour.

Use two scoops (with a cookie scoop or a tablespoon) to make one dough ball. Roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then place on prepared baking sheet at least 3 inches apart.

Use your fingers to gently shape the dough ball so that it is taller than it is wide. *This is important to keep the cookies nice and thick and prevent too much spreading!

Bake for 8-11 minutes. (I like mine under-cooked a bit for a super soft and chewy texture and for me this is right about 9-10 minutes. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet while they are cooling!). Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
