Six soft snickerdoodles rolled in cinnamon sugar, made with one egg yolk.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon for rolling
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  • With a hand mixer, beat the butter and ¼ cup of sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar and mix into a dough.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon with the 1 tablespoon of sugar. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, roll them in the cinnamon sugar, and set them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges. Let them sit on the pan for about 2 minutes, then move them to a rack.
