Today I am participating in a wonderful birthday celebration for Meghan of The Tasty Fork. Meghan shares some wonderful recipes on her blog and I am so excited to be a part of her birthday celebration!
I am bringing my Snickerdoodles to the party.
This recipe is the one I currently use and is adapted from the Heartland cookbook published over 20 years ago. I have tried several adaptions and this is my favorite and has been my go to for many years. These cookies are so soft and light and are tasty as ever.
Try them and be sure to give a Happy Birthday shout out to Meghan!
Snickerdoodles
2 sticks butter, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cream together butter sugar and eggs. Combine dry ingredients separately and incorporate into butter mixture. Chill dough at least 1 hour. While dough is chilling, prepare topping.
Topping
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Form into balls and roll in topping mixture. Drop by teaspoonful onto a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-11 minutes until golden.
Enjoy!
These are one of my top ten favorite cookies. What is in your top ten?
