Brown Sugar Snickerdoodles
A spicy sugary family favorite, perfect for kicking off the holidays!
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside for now.
- In a large bowl using a wooden spoon or in your stand mixer, beat the room temperature butter until it's creamy and fluffy.
- Beat the brown sugar, all but 3 tbsp of the sugar, and the egg into the butter until thoroughly combined.
- Beat in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated. Don't overmix or your dough will be dense.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate about an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tbsp of sugar and the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and allspice together until you have a nice spiced sugar.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, scoop up about 2 tbsp of the dough and roll in your hands until you have a ball. Roll through the bowl of spiced sugar until thoroughly coated, and then transfer the ball to the sheet pan. Repeat until you have used all the dough.
- Bake the cookies 12-14 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and let cool at least 3-5 minutes before serving.
- Serve and enjoy!
