Ingredients
  • 3 ¼ cups (406 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp (8 g) cinnamon
  • 2 ½ tsp (12 g) cream of tartar
  • 2 tsp (5 g) baking soda
  • ¾ tsp (5 g) salt
  • ½ tsp (3 g) baking powder
  • 1 ¼ cups (284 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g ) Redpath® Granulated Sugar
  • ¾ cup (163 g) Redpath® Golden Yellow Sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (3 g) cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp (28 g) Redpath® Granulated Sugar
Instructions
  1. Place flour in a large bowl and sift in the cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Whisk well to combine and sift the entire mixture once more. 
  2. In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer on medium, cream the butter and sugars together until pale and fluffy; about 5 minutes. 
  3.  Add eggs one at a time. Fully beat in the first before adding the second. Mix 2 minutes. 
  5. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients in two parts, mixing just until flour is no longer visible. 
  6. Cover dough and chill for 1 hour.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Mix 1 tsp (3 grams) of cinnamon and 2 tbsp (28 grams) Redpath® Granulated Sugar in a small dish.
  9. Scoop 2 tablespoons (45 grams) of dough and roll into a ball. Drop into the cinnamon sugar and turn to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheets 3 inches (7.5 centimetres). 
  10. Bake cookies, one sheet at a time, until puffed and golden around the edges; 12 to 13 minutes.
  11. Allow to cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  12. Snickerdoodles will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
