Old Fashioned Snickerdoodles

There's nothing like a good ol' fashioned snickerdoodle cookie fresh out the oven. This is my son's favorite cookie.

Old Fashioned Snickerdoodles:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 whole egg and 1 egg yoke separated

2 3/4 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

For rolling the cookie dough balls:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2-3 tsp cinnamon

1.) Cream together the melted butter and sugar. Beat in the whole egg and egg yoke.

2.) Mix together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until incorporated.

3.) Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Using a cookie scoop (I use a standard sized scoop) scoop the dough into your hand and roll into a smooth ball. Roll the ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. Place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze for at least 15 mins.

4.) Preheat the oven to 350°. Place balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake 14-16 mins. Place the rest of the frozen balls in a ziploc bag and keep in the freezer until ready to bake.
