Nutty brown butter combines with sweet cinnamon sugar in these chewy brown butter snickerdoodles for a slightly more grown-up version of the classic cookie.<\/em><\/p>\n

Snickerdoodles always feel like a childhood classic to me. The sweet cinnamon-sugar flavor is pretty much always a hit with kids. Plus, they\u2019re easy to make, so they\u2019re a good recipe to make with kiddos.<\/p>\n

In fact, Stephie remembers snickerdoodles being one of the first things she baked with her mom as a kid (after\u00a0classic rice krispie treats<\/a>, of course!).\u00a0<\/p>\n

I still love classic snickerdoodle cookies, but sometimes I want to make something that feels just a bit more fancy. Maybe a bit more grown up. But still with all of the nostalgia of the original.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when this brown butter snickerdoodle recipe comes in.<\/p>\n

Why you\u2019ll love these brown butter snickerdoodles<\/h2>\n

Brown butter is one of my favorite ways to take a classic recipe and make it just a little more special.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve tried my\u00a0brown butter chocolate chip cookies<\/a>,\u00a0brown butter rice krispie treats<\/a>, or\u00a0brown butter banana bread<\/a>, you\u2019ll know what I mean. Even\u00a0chocolate chipless cookies<\/a>\u00a0benefit from a little brown butter treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brown butter has a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the\u00a0cinnamon-sugar<\/a>\u00a0base of these snickerdoodles. You get all of the chewy texture, sweetness, and slight tang of the original with an added hint of nuttiness from the brown butter.<\/p>\n

This might be my new favorite way to make snickerdoodles.<\/p>\n

And considering how fast my friends and neighbors devoured these, I think they would agree.<\/p>\n

Why is cream of tartar important in this recipe?<\/h2>\n

Like all good snickerdoodle recipes, these brown butter snickerdoodles call for cream of tartar in the ingredients.<\/p>\n

Cream of tartar is the acidic byproduct of winemaking. It is white and powdery and looks a bit like baking powder.<\/p>\n

There are actually a lot of uses for cream of tartar, but in cookies it helps prevent the sugars from crystalizing, giving you soft and chewy cookies.<\/p>\n

The acidity of cream of tartar also gives snickerdoodles their tangy flavor! (Just like when we add buttermilk to recipes like\u00a0Texas sheet cake<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0buttermilk pancakes<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

To make\u00a0true<\/em>\u00a0snickerdoodles, you really do have to use cream of tartar. You can find it in the spice aisle of any grocery store.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vinegar or lemon juice can be substituted for the acidity, but these cookies will not have the same texture without the cream of tartar.<\/p>\n

How to make my brown butter snickerdoodles<\/h2>\n

Even though this recipe adds the process of browning butter to the original snickerdoodle recipe, I promise that these are still pretty easy cookies to make.<\/p>\n

Ingredients you\u2019ll need<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve made my easy snickerdoodle cookies, you will recognize this ingredient list. That\u2019s because it is actually the same!<\/p>\n

This recipe is a great example of how tweaking the method just a bit can change the final product.<\/p>\n
