Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade snickerdoodle cookie recipe using just five simple ingredients, featuring a soft and chewy texture with a classic cinnamon-sugar coating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon-sugar mixture: 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon-sugar coating.
  7. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Roll each ball generously in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent spreading. Remove cookies from oven when edges are set but centers are still soft for perfect chewiness. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness. Can be frozen and reheated for freshness.
