I don't really like the snickerdoodles that hold a mounded shape and dry out fast. These are nice and chewy, like a good sugar cookie with more interesting flavor. From https://www.modernhoney.com/the-best-snickerdoodle-cookie-recipe/

• 1 c softened butter
• 1 1/2 c sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 t vanilla
• 2 3/4 c flour
• 1 1/2 t cream of tartar
• 1/2 t baking soda
• 1 t salt

Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture:

• 1/4 c sugar
• 1 1/2 T cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and cream 1-2 more minutes.
3. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt just to combine. Maybe wrap and chill 20-30 minutes.
4. Prepare cinnamon sugar mixture for rolling
5. Make small balls, coat well, and dimple the center to keep it from puffing up too much
6. Bake 9-11 minutes and let cool for a few minutes before removing from pan
