Snickerdoodles

I'm back after a long month!!! I've been having tests the whole month of May so I wasn't able to have a social life and I was cooped up in my room studying. So now, since I finished all my tests and school ended, I back and ready to bake my summer away! My family really likes cookies, mostly chocolate chip, but since I didn't have any chocolate chips around, I made snickerdoodles! Hope you like them:)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup sugar (separate)
• 1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two cookie pans with parchment paper and set aside for later.
• In a medium bowl, add in your flour, baking soda, salt and cream of tartar. Stir lightly with a whisk to incorperate all the dry ingredients. 

• In a large bowl, cream your unsalted butter and sugar together until it is light and fluffy. Add in your egg and vanilla. Beat until they are well combined.

• Pour your dry ingredients to your butter-sugar mixture. Use a spatula to combine them together. In a small bowl, mix in your separate sugar and cinnamon together.

• Use a small cookie scoop to make little balls of dough. As soon as you rolled it in your hands to make each ball smooth, roll it in your sugar cinnamon mixture. 

 

• Lay them on your prepared cookie sheets. After you've used up all your dough, use the bottom of a clean cup to sightly press the cookies down.

• Bake the cookies for about 15 to 18 minutes. Let it cool for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!
