The Best Cinnamon Chip Snickerdoodles

I bought some cinnamon chips and wasn't sure how to use them. This recipe is a keeper. Recipe courtesy of Let's Dish Recipes. Serving size is estimated.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 24

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups  white sugar plus 3 tbsp white sugar (divided)
• 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
• 2  teaspoons vanilla
• 2  eggs
• 2 2⁄3 cups flour
• 1  teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 12  teaspoons cinnamon, divided
• 1  cup  cinnamon baking chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. I did not line my paper--I used butter wrappers to grease baking sheets instead.
2. With an electric mixer, beat 1 1/2 cups of the white sugar, butter, vanilla, and eggs.
3. Blend in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in cinnamon chips. Shape dough into 1 inch balls.
4. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons sugar and a teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Roll dough in cinnamon and sugar mixture and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to wire racks to cool completely.
