Perfect Snickerdoodles




These seriously were the perfect little cookie. Snickerdoodles are so basic, but so freaking good--I couldn't stop eating them!!

2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

For topping:
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
3-4 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Mix together butter and sugar until smooth. Add in eggs and vanilla. Then add in baking powder, salt and flour. Refrigerate dough for 1-2 hours, until it is easily rolled into balls. Once the dough is ready, roll into 2 inch balls. Mix together the topping and then roll each ball in the topping mixture. Place the balls on your greased cookie sheet and use a cup to press each ball down flat. Add a little more of the topping to each cookie. Bake at 400 for 8-9 minutes.
