They were a huge success. Apparently, everyone loves a cookie with snicker in the name.
It was a favorite of my Dad. One of the few things he made in the kitchen, although he made a lot of things in the shop.
This is the recipe I used at the bakery. And a tasty one it is! Even if it doesn't have chocolate, which I think is a very important key to anything truly delicious.
So, for all you cinnamon sugar lovers out there . . .
Snickerdoodles:
Ingredients:
5 cups All-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Cream of tartar (that magical ingredient kept in pantries everywhere for the sole purpose of making snickerdoodles, I think)
1 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1teaspoon Salt
1pound (2 cups) butter
2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
1. Whisk dry ingredients together
2. Cream butter and sugar (remember my 5 minute rule. Cream until very smooth and fluffy)
3. Add vanilla and eggs and mix at low speed until well blended. It might look curdled, but that is normal, not a sign of anything icky or weird.
4. Stir in dry ingredients until just blended.
At this point, I suggest refrigerating the dough for an hour or so which will make the shaping part less sticky.
5. Mix together 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons (or to taste) cinnamon.
6. Roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into a ball and roll in cinnamon sugar.
Bake at 350 F for about 12 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
This recipe makes quite a few cookies. I am not sure exactly how many as Milo did in fact eat the corner of the paper on which I had noted the yield.
Sorry. I think it made about 5 dozen.
Happy eating! sol (snicker out loud)
