**Chewy Snickerdoodle Recipe**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for coating)
– 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the ground cinnamon for coating the cookies.
7. Shape the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
8. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still soft.
10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, if they last that long!
