Classic Snickerdoodle Cookies

These cookies are perfect. They bring back memories from when I was a child. And they are SO easy to make! Soft, chewy, and cinnamon, these make a great gift...or a little snack. :P I filled some of them with cream cheese icing but that is totally optional.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 24
• Yields: 24 cookies

Ingredients

• 2 3⁄4 cups flour
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄4 cups  softened unsalted butter
• 2  cups granulated sugar
• 2  eggs
• 2  teaspoons vanilla
•  about a tablespoon cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Cream the softened butter and the sugar in another medium sized bowl. Add in egg and vanilla; mix well. Stir in dry ingredients and mix until it becomes a smooth dough.
3. Form the dough into small balls (each ball should be about the size of a walnut) and roll each one in cinnamon before placing about two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. These cookies spread a lot, so be aware of this while placing them. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
4. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
