This Soft & Chewy Snickerdoodles recipe is easy to whip up in your kitchen and requires no chill time! That means you can enjoy these soft-baked, cinnamon-spiced cookies in just 25 minutes!
Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of your stand mixer (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer), add the sugar and butter and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to incorporate.
Stir the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Slowly add to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated (be careful not to over-mix).
Using a cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons), scoop out a portion of dough and roll into a ball.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl. Dip the dough balls in it and roll them to cover with sugar.
Place onto the parchment paper leaving about a 2 inch space between cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they begin to turn a nice golden brown around the edges and the tops begin to crack. [Note: the cookies will look puffy at first but will begin to flatten and get more crinkly as they cool.]
Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.
