Snickerdoodle Cookies

I seem to be posting about cookies and sweet stuff a lot lately. The explanation is easy: all this rainy and grey weather here in San Francisco makes me crave sweet and comforting food. And what can be more comforting than a house smelling like fresh baked cookies, especially these snickerdoodles with their hint of cinnamon. Baking them brings at least as much joy as eating them later. And turning them into a ice cream sandwich just makes them irresistible.

I usually make the dough in the evening, chill it over night, and make fresh cookies in the morning. Nothing beats fresh baked cookies on a Sunday morning and as an added bonus I get to snack on the cookie dough from the fridge which is a great treat in its own right. This batch was for my friends of the San Francisco F-Liners softball team to nourish them during the first game of the 2016 season.

Ingredients

  • Cookies
  • Butter - 2 sticks, unsalted
  • Granulated Sugar - 1.5 cups / 300g
  • All Purpose Flour - 2.5 cups / 350g
  • Cream of Tartar - 2 tsp
  • Baking Soda - 1 tsp
  • Kosher Salt - 1/2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract - 1/2 tsp
  • Eggs - 2, large
  • Coating
  • Granulated Sugar - 1/2 cups / 100g
  • Ground Cinnamon - 2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. Sift flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together and set aside.
  2. Cream the butter, vanilla, and sugar until pale and fluffy. Takes about 5 minutes if the butter has room temperature.
  3. Add one egg at a time and make sure it is well incorporated before adding the next one.
  4. Scrape down the sides and add the flour. I just dump it all in and mix it until it's just combined.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  6. After chilled, roll dough into equal sized balls and roll the dough in the sugar/cinnamon mixture to evenly coat them

  7. Put the dough balls onto a sheet pan, lined with parchment paper and carefully press them down a little bit. Because I never get enough cinnamon/sugar on mine, I add some extra at this stage

  8. Bake at 400° for 10 - 12 minutes. Rotate halfway through for even baking if your oven isn't baking evenly.

Hey, I'm Tobias and since I was a small kid, watching my mom prepare food for the family, I have been fascinated by food, cooking, and baking. In the past years, a love for classic craft cocktails and good wine came as add-on. And now I'm trying to use my free time to travel all over our planet, connect with friends, and explore the culinary offerings this beautiful world has.

Because good food brings good people together.
