DAY 5: Snickerdoodles are one of Little A’s favorite cookies: I’m sure it has something to do with the not-liking-chocolate thing. And who doesn’t love a cookie with a name like Snickerdoodle. Rolling dough balls around in cinnamon and sugar also adds to the fascination. I used to make these with half butter/half shortening, but have switched to all-butter. (No more trans fats and hydrogenated oils around here.) And they still have plenty of rise and stay nice and soft!
RECIPE:
Snickerdoodles
1 cup butter
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¼ cup sugar
2 Tbs cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt and mix well.
Mix ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll dough into 1” balls. Roll balls in cinnamon mixture and place on baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
