2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (I used Kerrygold)
1 cup granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon, divided use
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/4 cup whole milk, or half-n-half, or coconut milk
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter, 1 cup sugar and vanilla until creamy - about 1 minute. Beat in egg and milk until combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop out dough onto cookie sheets. In a small bowl, stir together remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top of cookies. Bake 8 minutes or until light golden brown and set. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Makes about 20 cookies

ReplyDeleteLooove snickerdoodles.
I just recently bought some Kerrygold butter too! I was intrigued when I saw it at the store so I can't wait to use it in a dessert recipe :)

Yummy! I love snickerdoodles. Those look so good :) What a cute little niece you have! I'm going to be an aunty in September and I'm so excited :D
ReplyDeleteYou have such a pretty niece! And I love the hair colour, does she also have red eyebrows? She reminds me of my little sister :)
ReplyDeleteI have loved reading your blog... I tried a recipe you posted a year ago, cheesecake filled chocolate cupcakes (ah yum!)...
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to these cookies, too... my mom and I were just talking about Snickerdoodles yesterday!!!!
Kerrygold butter, eh? I didn't think snickerdoodles could be taken up a notch. But girl, you BROUGHT IT with these! So glad you're feeling better! the birthday weekend sounds super fun! And your niece is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to make these for my dad who absolutely LOVES snickerdoodles. I've actually never heard of Kerrygold butter, but I'll get on that when I get ready to make these.
ReplyDeleteYour family wasn't upset that you didnt' bring a dessert to the party? I know my family is upset when I don't bring one of your desserts to a party!
ReplyDeleteI envy your weather! Send some of that spring up this way - wind and all!
The snickerdoodles look delcious and I am really crazy about the idea of coconut milk in them!
Happy birthday to all!

ReplyDeleteI had my first snickerdoodle when I first married my husband ... hadn't heard of them before that!
So many special days to celebrate Emily.Many years ago I made some snickerdoodles but the recipe went horribly wrong. It is nice to have a reliable recipe as found here on Sugar Plum.
ReplyDeleteAloha Emily,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this receipe. One of my favorite cookies. Your little niece is just soooo cuteeee.
Gretchen
Delicious! Snickerdoodles are one of my all time favorite cookies! Your little niecelet is SOOO cute!!
ReplyDeleteHave ever tried adding some chocolate to your snickerdoodles? I tried this a recently and they turned out great. I actually blogged them too if you need an idea. Pics look great!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure snickerdoodles became your mom's favorite cookie even if they eren't before after trying these! I like how nice and thick they are.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteLisa, that's crazy! I'm glad you like the picture. :)
Helena, I think she does.. but maybe not bright red?
Ministrywife, I'm so happy you liked the cupcakes! That makes me very happy. Thank you for reading! You should really bake these snickerdoodles.
Rachel, I will send some spring your way. I actually used coconut milk and loved it!
Malebaker, I've heard of doing that, but never have tried. I'll have to check out your recipe. I remember Karen from Familystylefood had a spiced chocolate snickerdoodle she made a while back.
I agree I love Kerrygold too...it's amazing. Also Happy Birthday to your Mom and Madeline :)
ReplyDeleteI think the best thing about snickerdoodles is that you always have everything you need to make them in the cupboard. Even when you can't make any other dessert, you can make snickerdoodles.
ReplyDeleteoooh--coconut milk! great suggestion! i'm really excited to test that out, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies were amazing! Best snickerdoodles ever!
