Trisha Yearwood's classic Snickerdoodles are the perfect balance of soft centers and crisp edges. These traditional cinnamon-sugar cookies come together in minutes with basic pantry ingredients. The secret to their signature tang? Cream of tartar gives these treats their distinctive flavor, while rolling the dough balls in cinnamon-sugar creates that beloved crackled exterior. Bake until just set for the perfect chewy texture that makes these cookies a timeless family favorite. - Claude
Ingredients
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 medium eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar and the eggs and mix thoroughly with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, and stir into the shortening mixture.
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon.
Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (1 tablespoon per ball).
Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar.
Arrange the dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake two sheets at a time until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still soft, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through.
Transfer the cookies to wire racks for cooling.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Store in an airtight container.

💡️ Help, Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service
🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
