Did someone say Snickerdoodles?

This is probably my favorite cookie EVER.  Even against the rich chocolate cookie encased peanut butter cookie. Yes you read that right.  

Before you read any further, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.  If you have parchment paper... I would coat the cookie sheets with that.  If not, the cookie will cook fine.  You'll just have to scrub the cookie sheets a bit harder than usual. 
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 2 t baking powder
  • 1 cup butter, melted or room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 t vanilla
Separate to coat cookies later:
  • 1/3 cup (66 grams) granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


Anyway, in a large bowl you wanna cream the butter and sugar together. Be sure to beat it well, your going to put the eggs in next which tend to re-cool the butter.  Go ahead and put in the teaspoon of vanilla with the eggs and mix it really well.  

Once you're done with that, throw in (not literally)  the flour, salt, and baking powder.

When that is mixed together, prepare to bake the cookie!  In a small bowl, mix together the 1/3 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to coat the cookie in.  In order to do that, you want to take chunks of the cookie dough, roll it into 1 inch balls, and then roll that ball in the sugary coating.  Then you can put those on the cookie sheet, pop it in the oven for 8-10 minutes... and Voila! Goodness on a pan.   

If you're not using parchment paper by the way, immediately remove cookies from the sheet.  OR they will stick.
