Is there anything better than a really good snickerdoodle? These small batch snickerdoodles are chewy in the centers, crisp on the edges, and made with brown butter for a nutty, toffee-like flavor. Even better, they're one bowl and no chill. Ahhh they're so good!

Chewy Small Batch Snickerdoodles

Ingredients

Milk and 4 other allergens identified

Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2
|
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer. It will foam up and sputter a little. Cook the butter, swirling the pan often, until it smells nutty and has brown bits at the bottom, about 5 minutes. Immediately pour the brown butter into a medium mixing bowl and let it cool completely.
3
|
Once the butter is cool, add 66 grams (⅓ cup) of sugar. Whisk until the mixture is thick and lightened in color, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until smooth.
4
|
Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cream of tartar, and Kosher salt to the wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold the cookie dough just until it comes together and there are no more streaks of flour.
5
|
Mix the remaining 24 grams (2 Tablespoons) of sugar with the cinnamon. Using a #20 cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough into 6 balls. (The dough will be a little soft.) Carefully roll the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon sugar and place them 2-3 inches apart on the prepared sheet pan.
6
|
Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are still a bit under-done. Let the cookies cool on the sheet pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
