Yum!: Super Easy Snickerdoodle Cookies

These cookies are very easy. I make them rather large so with this recipe I only get about 15 cookies, if you make them more snack size you will get about 30. This recipe can be doubled for double the enjoyment.

Snickerdoodle Cookies

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, at room temperature) (I also use salted butter and it works out fine)

3/4 cup sugar

1 large egg (also at room temperature) (you can put the egg in warm water for 5 minutes in lieu of room temperature)

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp cream of tarter

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

***

1 1/2 tbsp sugar

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

***

Place oven rack in center position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together butter and sugar with an electric mixer, I use my stand mixer. Add egg, mix until creamy. Mix dry ingredients together in a separate bowl until well blended. Slowly add flour mixture into butter mixture.

In a small bowl or plate, mix together sugar and cinnamon and set aside. This is where the cookies become either "happy-sized" or "snack-sized." Roll a small amount of dough into a ball in the palm of your hands, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Arrange balls in rolls at least two inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. I bake mine the full 10 minutes and they came out perfect, soft and chewy. Let cool on cookie sheet for a few minutes and then move them to a cookie cooling rack.

Enjoy while you can as they will be gone before you know it!
