Snickerdoodles!!!

I promise in the future to get a better setup for lighting so I can stop ruining all these with the flash, but until then here are some Snickerdoodles we made today:







Recipe as follows:

* 2-¾ cups All-purpose Flour
* 2 teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
* 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
* ¼ teaspoons Salt
* 2 sticks Unsalted Butter, Softened
* 1-½ cup Sugar
* 2 whole Eggs
* 2-½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
* 4 Tablespoons Sugar
* 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon (more if you prefer)

Preparation Instructions

1. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a baking mat and put in refrigerator to chill.

2. Whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

3. Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, it should have a very light and fluffy texture.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Mix in the vanilla.

4. Gradually stir in the flour mixture, slowly beating just until the flour is blended.

5. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (it will make forming the dough much easier).

6. In the meantime, mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

7. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Scoop 1-inch balls of dough and roll in the cinnamon and sugar mixture to coat.

8. Place on chilled cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and bake for 10 minutes.

9. Chill the dough and cookie sheets between batches.

10. Let cookies set on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack.
