Delicious Snickerdoodle Cookies ### Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Avoid overmixing.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining ¼ cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon for rolling.
Using your hands, roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart, as they will spread while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

And there you have it—a scrumptious batch of Snickerdoodle cookies that are sure to impress! Enjoy them fresh out of the oven, or store them in an airtight container for later. Happy baking!
