Maple Snickerdoodles

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

   Tip: Use a whisk to ensure even mixing.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream the butter and maple syrup until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for this step.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Stir in the cream of tartar and cinnamon.

   Tip: Don't overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of confectioners' sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. This will be used to roll the cookies in.

6. 6

   Scoop the dough into balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Then, roll each ball in the confectioners' sugar mixture to coat.

   Tip: Make sure to coat each cookie evenly.

7. 7

   Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

8. 8

   Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

   Tip: Don't overbake, as these cookies will be soft and chewy.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. 10

    Dust the cookies with additional confectioners' sugar, if desired.
