Snickerdoodles

2 cups al- purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon, divided use

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg

1/4 cup whole milk, or half-n-half, or coconut milk

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray. 

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter, 1 cup sugar and vanilla until creamy - about 1 minute. Beat in egg and milk until combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture until just combined.  

Using a cookie scoop, scoop out dough onto cookie sheets. In a small bowl, stir together remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top of cookies. Bake 8 minutes or until light golden brown and set. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes about 20 cookies
