Great American Cookies Snickerdoodles
These will seem not done when they come out of the oven but trust me they will set up perfectly.
1/2 C. butter(1 stick), softened
1/2 C. granulated sugar
1/3 C. brown sugar(packed)
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 C. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
Topping:
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars with an electric mixer on high speed. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
2. In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar.
3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well.
4. Preheat oven to 300 degrees while you let the dough rest for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.
5. In a small bowl combine the sugar with the cinnamon for the topping.
6. Take about 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll it into a ball. Roll this dough in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and press it onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat for the remaining cookies.
7. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes and no more. They will seem undercooked. After they cool they should be soft and chewy in the middle.
This only makes 16-18 cookies. But they are big cookies. This is a clone of The Great American Cookie Co. They are great!!!
