🍪 How To Make Alton Brown Snickerdoodle

3. Using a stand mixer, beat the sugar and butter until the butter is slightly melted. Blend in the eggs and vanilla extract.
4. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones thoroughly.
5. In a little bowl, mix together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon.
6. Scoop out dough using a tiny cookie scoop. Roll into a ball. Roll twice in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

8. Bake for 8  to 10 minutes. Allow them to rest for a few more minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

💭 Recipe Tips

• The perfect cinnamon/sugar ratio. Mix 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Sifted ingredients. Before adding them to the creamed mixture, sift the dry ingredients in a separate bowl; this step may appear superfluous, but it’s essential. The flour’s gluten will be less activated by mixing, resulting in softer cookies.
• Scoop. Spoon the dough into cookie molds. Doing so will ensure that each cookie is about the same size.
