Safe-to-eat, delicious snickerdoodle cookie dough! Enjoy this no-bake treat by the spoonful, rolled into balls, or as a topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, heat-treated
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Heat-Treat the Flour: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread flour evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cool completely. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cool completely.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
  3. Add Vanilla and Salt: Beat in vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
  4. Add Heat-Treated Flour: Gradually add the heat-treated flour to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Add Baking Soda and Cream of Tartar: Sprinkle baking soda and cream of tartar over the dough and mix until just combined.
  6. Add Milk: Gradually add the milk, mixing until the dough comes together.
  7. Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  8. Enjoy: Eat by the spoonful, roll into balls and coat in cinnamon-sugar, use as a topping, or blend into milkshakes.
  9. Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
