| Yield: | About 24 snickerdoodles |
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup red sanding sugar
Instructions
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 400˚. Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, 1/2 teaspoon each five-spice powder and cinnamon, the baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until combined. Beat in the vanilla, then reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until combined.
- Mix the red sanding sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each five-spice powder and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each), then roll them in the red sugar. Arrange 3 inches apart on 2 unlined baking sheets.
- Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies spread, crackle in the centers and are lightly golden around the edges, 9 to 12 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the pans, then remove the cookies to racks to cool completely.

Me & my parents couldn’t get enough of these they were so good!
These are delicious, and look great on a cookie tray!
Delicious! The five spice powder makes such a difference. I’ve always loved snickerdoodles but this new spin is a home run!
