Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together 2 3/4 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Snickerdoodles are a classic American cookie with a rich history dating back to the 1800s. The origin of the name "snickerdoodle" is uncertain, but the cookie itself is beloved for its soft, chewy texture and delightful cinnamon-sugar coating. This popular treat is often associated with Midwestern and Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine, where it has been a staple for generations. Today, snickerdoodles can be found in bakeries and homes across the country, with each chef adding their own unique twist to the traditional recipe. The key to a perfect snickerdoodle lies in the balance of cream of tartar and baking soda, which gives the cookie its characteristic tangy flavor and chewy texture. For a fun alternative, some bakers add a hint of nutmeg or allspice to the cinnamon-sugar coating for an extra layer of warmth and spice. One of the best places to find exceptional snickerdoodles is in the cozy bakeries of the Midwest, where the tradition of baking these delightful treats has been passed down through generations. Whether enjoyed with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee, snickerdoodles continue to hold a special place in the hearts of cookie lovers everywhere.
