To get started, preheat the oven to 400 ° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk the butter and sugar. Next, add the eggs, one at a time, and mix.
Next, add the yeast and salt. Slowly add the flour to form a dough.
In a small bowl, gently mix ¼ cup of sugar and cinnamon. Set it aside.
Gather some of the dough and then roll it into 1¼-inch balls. After forming each ball, roll them in cinnamon sugar and then lay them on the prepared pan.
Bake in the center of the center rack of your preheated oven at 400 ° F for 10 minutes. The bottom of the cookies should be a light golden color when cooked.
Once cooked, remove the snickerdoodles from the oven and allow too cool.
