These eggless snickerdoodle cookies are soft, chewy, and absolutely delicious. Made with staple kitchen ingredients, they’re incredibly easy to whip up.
In a large bowl, combine softened butter and sugar. Using a handheld mixer (or stand mixer with a paddle attachment) cream together. This will usually take 1 minute, and you want the butter and sugar to be light and fluffy.
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), 1 ½ cups white granulated sugar
Into the same large bowl, add vanilla, milk, and cream of tartar. Whisk together until combined.
Pour in about half of the dry ingredients. Mix together. Pour in second half of dry ingredients and mix until the ingredients are incorporated. Try not to overmix as this will create dense cookies.
Cover and chill in refrigerator for an hour. This will help the cookies hold their shape and produce the taller, chewier texture.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar to roll dough balls in.
¼ cup white granulated sugar, 2 teaspoon cinnamon
With a small cookie scoop or 1 tablespoon, scoop out dough. Then roll into a ball. Roll in cinnamon sugar mixture and place them on the baking sheet.
Bake 10-11 minutes. You are looking for the edges of the cookies to be formed and the center of the cookie to not be doughy. Try to not overbake! The cookies will continue to set when cooling.
Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes
When creaming the butter and sugar make sure there are no clumps left, and it is light and fluffy. This usually takes a full minute with a handheld mixer.The chill time in the refrigerator allows for taller and chewier cookies.
