How to Make Snickerdoodle Cookies without Cream of Tartar
To make Snickerdoodle cookies pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees and gather all of your ingredients that are listed below.
Cream together your “wet” ingredients (sugar, butter eggs). After those are mixed well, add in your “dry ingredients” (flour, baking powder, salt).
Once your dough comes together, in a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar together.
Roll your dough into 1″ balls and roll those balls in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Place cookie balls on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper and repeat until all of your cookie dough balls have been rolled in cinnamon and sugar.
Bake cookies for 8-9 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown or the dough is set in the middle. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet before removing them to a cooling rack.
