Ingredients

Servings:

1 cup	butter (room temperature)
1 ¾ cup	sugar (divided: dough and the roll)
2 unit	eggs
1 tsp	vanilla extract
2 ¾ cup	flour
2 tsp	cream of tartar (the ingredient the cookie is about)
1 tsp	baking soda
½ tsp	salt
1 tbsp	cinnamon (for the roll)

Method

mix5 min
butter + 1.5 cups sugar creamed, eggs + vanilla in
the standard cream — then flour + cream of tartar + soda + salt folded through to a soft dough; the tartar is doing two jobs at once, tang in the crumb and lift with the soda, and no substitution does both
prep8 min
balls rolled through cinnamon + remaining sugar
walnut-size balls rolled generously through the cinnamon sugar — coated heavily, because the coating bakes into the crackled sparkling shell that is half the cookie's name recognition
bake11 min
375°F, until puffed then just fallen, edges set
the snickerdoodle's tell: it puffs in the oven and collapses into its crinkles at the end — pulled when the edges set and the centers look one minute shy, hotter and shorter than most of the chapter, which is what keeps the middle pillowy; sheet-rest ten minutes as ever
