Hey there, Snickerdoodle!

I love Snickerdoodles! They remind me of a warm bear hug. I love how the cookie is buttery and coated with yummy cinnamon and sugar. They’re perfect with a tall glass of milk, coffee or tea. And…they’re easy to make!
 

 
Let's make Snickerdoodles! You'll need:
2-¾ cups All-purpose Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
½ teaspoons Salt
2 sticks Unsalted Butter (at room temp)
1-½ cup Sugar
2 whole Large Eggs
 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Sugar
 
 
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. Put softened butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a bowl and mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture.
 
2. Stir together cinnamon and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Shape dough into 20 (1 3/4-inch) balls; roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. Space 3 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
 
3. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden, 12 minutes.

Enjoy!
