Brown Butter Snickerdoodle Cookie

My dad loves a good snickerdoodle cookie. The tender chewiness of the cookie and the sweetness of the cinnamon sugar coating are the best. This cookie adds in the nutty flavor of brown butter to create a very well balanced cookie. Try them today!

Step One

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the browned butter. Mix until light. Add in the eggs and mix until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and mix to combine.

Next, add in the cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Mix to combine. Then, add in the flour in two batches, mixing after each addition. Only mix until just combined to avoid over working the dough.

Then, chill the dough in the fridge for 1-2 hours to allow to firm up. This will make it easier to roll into balls.

Step Two

Once the dough has chilled, prepare your station. You will need a portion scoop or a spoon to help make evenly sized dough balls, and a tray to place the dough balls onto. Next, roll out the dough into evenly sized balls of dough. Place them on the tray as you go. Once all the dough is rolled, place the tray of dough balls into the freezer for about 20-30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step Three

Once the balls of dough have chilled, prepare parchment lined baking sheets and a bowl of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Generously coat each ball of dough with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place them on the baking sheets about 2″ apart. Once the tray is filled, put the remaining dough back into the fridge for the next batch.

Bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges begin to golden. Remove them from the oven and let them sit on the tray for a minute or two, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat until all the dough has been baked. Enjoy!
