Have you ever heard of Snicker Doodles? They are an old
fashioned cookie that I first baked when I was in my teens. They are buttery,
flavorful, covered with cinnamon, and very chewy.
I found this particular recipe on the back of a sack of King
Arthur’s flour. Wondering if they were as
good as the ones I remembered from my childhood, I made a batch. They taste just as good now as they did years ago. The
preparation for these cookies doesn’t take long and they bake in about eight
minutes. Try them out on your munchkins. They'll love them and want to help you bake them too.
Ingredients:
½ cup soft butter
¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Process:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease two cookie
sheets.
Mix butter, sugar and vanilla in large mixing bowl. Blend in
egg.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl, and
then add to butter mixture.
Mix two tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon on a small plate.
Drop dough by small teaspoons on to cinnamon sugar and
gently coat. Lay one dozen coated balls on each pan. Use a flat bottom glass to
flatten each cookie slightly.
Bake in preheated oven for about eight minutes until
slightly browned. Remove from oven and cool on rack for a few minutes. Remove
to wax paper and cool. This recipe makes about 2 ½ dozen. Enjoy.
