Our Favorite Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe
You guessed it - this recipe came for a neighbor when we lived in Sedalia, MO back in the late 70's. She had 2 hungry little boys and was ALWAYS cookin' up something good - and she loved to share, lucky for us! These became my young daughters favor... More

Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter (I do not recommend substituting margarine)
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2¾ cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Mix together in a small cereal bowl or plate:
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions
  1. Cream together the butter and sugar; add eggs.
  2. Add dry ingredients, mixing until all is blended.
  3. Roll cookie dough into balls (1½" - 2" diameter, depending on how big you want them) and roll each ball in the sugar/cinnamon mixture.
  4. Place on baking sheet and press each ball down with your fingertips.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, until just lightly browned around edges.
  6. Remove cookies from pan; cool on waxed paper.

These are Samuel's favorite cookies..YUM! I have a recipe for these..Im not sure if it's the same..I will have to go hunt for it. Thank you !


This is always been my favorite cookie. i never understood what cream of tartar was for and can never find it in the store. Do you know what it does for a recipe, or is it an omitable( I think I made up a word:)) thing like salt?


Hello Krum...This is a great all time favorite. I love the not too hard, not too soft, and just cinnamon-y enough part. Thanks for the super yummy post.


Thank you for the education:)) I have been using the same recipe for snickerdoodles for a while now and it doesnt have cream of tartar. I am going to make yours right now without and I wil report back!


These are also another favorite of mine. #1 is peanut butter.
