- Mix together well the remainder ½ cup sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom.
- Roll the 1-inch ball in the sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom mixture.
- Space about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet and bake (one sheet at a time) until the cookies are golden brown at the edges, about 8 to 9 minutes.

- Let the cookie sheet cool off completely between batches, or the cookies will cook too fast.
Notes
PRO TIPS
- Do not overbake the snickerdoodle. They will still need to be soft when they cool as they continue to harden once they are out of the oven.
- Once you have added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, do not overmix. Overmixing the flour will cause the gluten to overdevelop and give you a flat, hard cookie.
- If you use only one cookie sheet, let it cool off completely before adding another batch of cookies. The heat of the sheet will start the baking process and render a flat cookie.
