Mrs. Graver’s Snickerdoodles or Tallie’s Cookie for All Occasions (like figuring out whodunnit!)

All the things you need:

 

For Snickerdoodles

1 cup butter, at room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar (trust me on this one!)
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2¾ cup white flour

 

For Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture

¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

 

Now here’s what you do with them:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F.

Step 2: In a large bowl mix butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in egg, vanilla, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and cinnamon until smooth.

Step 3: Add flour, mixing until just combined.

Step 4: In a separate small bowl mix together cinnamon and sugar until combined.

Step 5: Using a tablespoon, take out a measure of dough and roll into a ball. Then roll each ball into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 6: Cover baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal. Place rolled dough on baking sheet about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

 

And voilà! Now, remember that you should probably share at least some of these cookies with others, although that’s not a hard and fast rule!
