Ingredients
2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, softened I use salted
2 cups white sugar, divided
2 large eggs
2 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Cream together the butter and 1 & 1/2 cups sugar until pale yellow, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in eggs until well combined.
Add the flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together.
In a separate, small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon together.
Shape dough into about 1-3/4 inch balls and roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar.
Space the balls about 3 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 9-10 minutes. (Oven temperatures may vary. Cooking time may be more or less.)
Snickerdoodles should have Cream of Tarter in them. Cream of Tarter prevents the sugar from crystalizing and makes the cookies soft.
