Who can resist the cinnamon goodness that is the famed snickerdoodle cookie? I love munch­ ing on these alongside a tall glass of milk while I’m buzzing away on my computer late at night. They make the perfect pick-me-up.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, shortening, and 1 1/2 cups of the sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture. Mix until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. In a pie plate, mix together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the ground cinnamon.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 7 minutes.
  6. Cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
