I've always thought that all Snickerdoodles were created equally. I've never really been a huge fan of Snickerdoodles, although I make them every year. They're always a bit too hard for me. I like a soft, chewy cookie. So, when I decided to do the 12 days of Christmas Cookies, I knew I wanted to include some traditional Christmas cookies. So, I went on the hunt to find a Snickerdoodle recipe that makes soft, chewy Snickerdoodles. I found one. And, it makes some pretty delicious cookies.
My mom helped me make these cookies (or she made these cookies while I made others, whatever), which was lots of fun! It's been a long time since we baked Christmas cookies together.

Here's what you need:
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 1/2 cups Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 3/4 cups Flour
- 2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 3 teaspoons Cinnamon
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Mix the butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and eggs thoroughly in a large bowl.
3. Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
4. Blend dry ingredients into butter mixture.
5. Chill dough for about 10-15 minutes in the fridge.
6. While the dough is chilling in the fridge, also chill an ungreased cookie sheet for the same amount of time.
Hint: We didn't have enough room in the fridge to fit a cookie sheet, so
we just sat ours outside while the dough was chilling.
7. While the dough is chilling, mix 3 tablespoons sugar, and 3 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl.
8. Roll one inch balls of dough in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
9. Bake for about 10 minutes.
10. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet to a cooling rack immediately upon removing them from the oven.
Enjoy!
