Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodle cookies are probably my favorite cookies.

Actually, you know what, they are. Hands-down.

I do not know why I haven’t made any in so long, but we cleared these cookies out in a couple of days and I think I may make some more tomorrow.

• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1-3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
