- 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon (80g) granulated sugar

Small-batch Snickerdoodle Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and a line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Add egg yolk and vanilla, and beat until well-combined.
- Add flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt, and beat until dough comes together and begins to clump.
- Divide dough into 6 parts and roll into balls.
- Roll dough in cinnamon sugar and transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spaced well apart. Use the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to gently flatten each cookie to 1/2-inch thick, no thinner (for fluffier, softer cookies, skip this step).
- Bake for 9 to 12 minutes until the bottom edges of the cookies are just barely golden.
- Cool on the baking tray and enjoy!
Notes
*Correct flour measurement is very important in this recipe. For best results, measure by weight or the Spoon and Sweep Method (stir the flour in your container to fluff it up and then spoon it into your measuring cup, sweep excess off with the flat of a knife).
