    These giant snickerdoodles are super easy to make and taste like a bakery sugar cookie rolled in cinnamon sugar. YUM-O. Take the time to cream the butter until it's light and fluffy and this snickerdoodle cookie recipe will not disappoint.

    Gather up your ingredients.

    Ingredients for giant snickerdoodles

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.  Set aside. 

    In a mixing bowl, beat the butter for 2 minutes until very creamy.  Slowly add in the granulated sugar, then the brown sugar and let the beaters keep going for at least 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.  Add the eggs, one at a time and mix until combined.

    Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet until combined.  Do not overmix.

    In a shallow dish, whisk together the ¼ cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.

    Using a large scoop (about 3 tablespoons worth), scoop the dough, rolling it into a ball, then roll it all around in the cinnamon sugar. 

    Dough ready to bake

    Place dough 3" apart on the cookie sheet and bake for 11-14 minutes.  Cookies are ready when they begin to crack.

    Let cookies cool on sheet pan

        Hi Kathy Ann, this recipe makes about 15 cookies. It's on the nutrition label but I just updated the post to show the amount at the top too. Enjoy!

      When doubling the recipe I noticed only the flour amount increases. Is this correct or should the butter (or any other ingredients) also increase?

        Hi Ashley, all the ingredients should double. Looks like there is something wrong on the back-end with the recipe card. I'm going to take a look.

          Thank you! I know in some recipes baking soda/powder doesn't get increased so I wondered if that was the case here or if it was glitched haha. Excited to make these!
