These small batch snickerdoodles gives you 4 chewy cookies, coated in cinnamon and sugar. They're perfect when you're craving a little something sweet!
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg yolk and mix again until smooth.
Slowly mix in flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
Scoop the dough into large balls, I like to use a ¼ cup cookie scoop for these. Roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place 4 cookie dough balls on your lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes. You're looking for a nice light golden brown around the edges, and some crackling along the top.
Notes
I love adding a little flaked salt on top of these sweet cookies.I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
