This super easy snickerdoodle cookie recipe thin crisp, soft, chewy, and buttery cinnamon sugar cookie all the classic flavors. Simple to make a warm batch for any occasion. A favorite at Christmas and Thanksgiving. The perfect cookie to make with your kids to start them learning to bake. 

  • Total Time: 57 minutes
  • Yield: 36 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups of all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) room temperature
  • 2 cups of white sugar
  • 2 room temperature eggs
  • 1/4 cup of milk (I like to use 1/2 and 1/2)
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • To roll the cookie in before baking:
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. First measure and whisk together in a medium bowl the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and cream of tartar and set aside.
  2. Next, mix the topping of cinnamon and sugar and set aside
  3. In a stand mixer cream together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time and cream.
  5. Next add the milk and the vanilla to the sugar butter mixture.
  6. With your mixer on low start adding the flour mixture a little at a time. When you have a most all added in remove from the mixer and hand mix with a spatula or mixing spoon, as the bater will be very thick that this point.
  7. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. I like the parchment flat sheet you can buy. Spray the parchment lightly with cooking spray.
  8. With a spoon scoop out about one tablespoon of dough, roll in your hand to a ball and roll the ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  9. Place on the parchment lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake at 375° for 8 minutes.
  11. When you take them out of the oven, let sit on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Allow the cookie sheet to cool before you bake another batch. (I use two cookie sheets to get done quicker.)
