  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) vanilla paste or pure vanilla extract

  • 3/4 teaspoon (4.5 grams) fine sea salt
  • For the Coating:
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (4 grams) ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Put sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla in bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer) and mix on low until well blended.

  3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl and stir into butter mixture. Mix sugar and cinnamon for rolling in a small bowl.

  4. Use a 3/4-ounce scoop to portion dough into generous 1 1/2-tablespoon balls, roll each one in cinnamon sugar, and lay out on the prepared pans, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake for 10 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, or until just set and turning golden brown around the edges.

  5. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The snickerdoodles can be kept in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
