Soft and Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies | Fast and Easy | No Mixer needed
Easy and so delicious snickerdoodle cookies with the classic cinnamon sugar coating! This recipe does not require a mixer, just bowls and a whisk. Another plus for me is that I do not need to pull out butter from the refrigerator and wait for it to get soft. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes is crucial for me because I like thicker cookies with chewy and soft center. (Not spread out too thin and crispy).
Cookie Dough Ingredients, made 10 cookies
· 1 ½ cup all-purpose
flour

powder
· ¼ teaspoon baking
soda
· ½ teaspoon cream of
tartar

1 large egg room
temperature
Cinnamon Sugar Ingredients
· ⅓
cup granulated sugar
·
1 ½ teaspoon ground
cinnamon
Instructions
· Melt butter in a
microwave-safe bowl. I did 20 seconds to check and then added 20 additional
seconds. Leave the melted butter to cool down.
· In a large mixing
bowl, combine and mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of
tartar, cinnamon powder, and salt. Set aside.
· When butter is
completely cool. Add both sugars in butter and whisk until it is well combined.
Add egg and vanilla and whisk just until well combined.
· Add dry ingredients
to wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until all
ingredients are combined.
· Cover the bowl with
dough and chill for at least 30 minutes in a refrigerator.
· Line a baking sheet
with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
· Preheat the oven to
350° F.
· In a small bowl or
plate with rim, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Scoop the cookie dough
with a 2-tablespoon size cookie scoop, roll into a ball and roll in cinnamon
sugar. Place on a prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough balls at least 2
inches apart.

Bake cookies for
10-12 minutes. Make sure to check at the 10-minute mark. What you are looking
for is the edge is set but the center looks soft and puffed up. The puffed-up
center would deflate while cooling. Mine took 11 minutes exactly. Let cookies cool on wire rack for 5
minutes and let cool completely
