Step-by-Step Instructions for Christmas Snickerdoodles
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the two room temperature eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating on medium speed until fully combined, approximately 1 minute.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, then gradually add this dry mix to the wet mixture.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for optimum flavor and texture.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Once the dough is chilled, scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls, then roll in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar or colorful sprinkles.
- Bake the cookie dough in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
