Delicious Snickerdoodle Sandwich Cookies

The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and makes around 12 sandwich cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 1 cup butter, softened (for frosting)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until combined.
- Form the Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Sandwich Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie, flat side down. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
- Serve: Enjoy your Snickerdoodle Sandwich Cookies with a glass of milk or as part of your holiday dessert spread.
