Equipment

  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric handheld mixer
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

Base ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter unsalted
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 pc. egg large
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp. baking soda
  • ⅓ tbsp. salt

Cinnamon filling

  • 2 tbsp. cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Using the bowl of your mixer, mix the butter and granulated sugar.
  • Add the vanilla extract, egg, and lemon juice. Mix on low speed until combined.
  • Combine the dry batter with the wet ingredients.
  • To prepare the cinnamon filling, combine cinnamon and granulated sugar in a separate mixing bowl.
  • Shape the now-prepared cookie dough into ball shapes and coat each piece with the cinnamon filling, and put them on the baking sheet. Keep coating until each piece is covered enough.
  • Use only one baking sheet at a time and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Do not cook longer, even if they still look undercooked. The middle part continues cooking while cooling on the parchment sheet.
  • Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make ahead — You can always make these delicious snickerdoodles without cream tartar ahead. Just prepare the dough and freeze it in a Ziplock bag. Pop it in the oven when you feel like having a delightful snack.
 
  • Don’t overcook — When it comes to making snickerdoodles, not knowing when to stop might mess up your cookies, resulting in still delicious, but soft snickerdoodles. Keep in mind that the edges should seem set but the middle of the cookies shouldn’t be allowed to turn golden brown.
 
  • Use cold eggs — Although you might’ve seen us recommend the opposite, this time you should use cold eggs, straight out of the fridge. This way, the eggs will work better as a binder and prevent the dough from spreading.
