These are THE BEST Snickerdoodle cookies! Snickerdoodles are my absolute favorite so I've had many "sickers" in my life, but these are the best! When my Grandma was in high school she took a Home Ec class and got this recipe, I don't know if it's significantly different than most recipes but I do know they are delish! If you like Snickerdoodles or just cookies in general you will love these! They always turn out amazing...except that one time I left out an ingredient, that time they didn't taste so good. But that was all user error AKA. me being forgetful. Now, whenever I search for recipes on the internet people always seem to put the ingredients all the way at the bottom so you have to wade all the way down just to see if you have the ingredients to make whatever the recipe is for. I don't do that. Next thing you see will be the recipe, simple as that, enjoy! Okay, now that you've made a mental checklist to make sure you have all the ingredients (At least that's what I always do.) Go get them, and be prepared for a mouthful of heaven! If you wanna just go dump all the ingredients in a bowl and bake em, I won't judge you, I'm guilty of doing that. Bye people, have a nice life! If you actually wanna read how I make this recipe, read on!
Mix together thoroughly your Shortening (or butter), sugar, and eggs. Mix enough to make sure all the ingredients are blended but DON'T over whip,(I know it's tempting.) this will mess up yo cookies. Next, sift together(or just carefully whisk) your flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. I like to put all this in a bowl and as the mixer is going, on low speed, spoon in a little at a time till fully mixed. Your dough should look like, well, dough. Okay, get ready. To perform this step properly you must have full concentration. Put the mixer bowl in the refrigerator and wait an hour. If done correctly, the worst is over, you can relax for an hour. I suggest preheating the oven now. 400 degrees please. Hey! That totally rhymed! While you dough is warming up a little bit after coming out of the fridge, combine your cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Take pieces of dough and roll them into balls about the size of small walnuts. I've personally found that using a small-ish cookie dough scooper is the perfect size. Who would've thought that a cookie dough scooper would be perfect for scooping cookie dough, shocking really. Roll your dough balls around in your coating till they're, well, coated. You can do this one at a time or with more. Coating multiple dough balls at once is a little bit harder but doing them one at a time takes longer so pick your struggle. After placing them on un-greased cookie sheets, use the bottom of a small glass and flatten the dough ball. This is a great trick for getting the cookies perfectly flat and round. If you're having trouble with the dough sticking to the bottom of the cup rubber band a tissue around the cup to prevent this. Then, just pop em in the oven for 8-10 minutes. If you like chewy snickerdoodles then 8 is your number. If you're into the crunch then 10 or even 11 minutes will crisp them up! This recipe yields 5 dozen so you'll need to alternate cookie sheets. I also suggest that if a sheet is in the oven but you're done scooping and coating your cookies then sit the sheet in the freezer for a few minutes before baking for best results. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe! It is amazingly delicious and pretty easy to make. Comment if you LOVE Snickerdoodles! Also, tell me what you'd like me to post about? I doubt anyone actually cares but if for some crazy reason you do actually have a suggestion, please tell me! Keep being awesome and eating cookies! Sarah, the human <3 Hello, bored humans! If you're reading this then you're technically not bored right this second...because you're reading this. Weird. I know it can be fun to do nothing, but after awhile you get tired of doing nothing...you literally get bored of being bored. If you haven't started school yet, or you're just looking to do something fun on a weekend hopefully, you'll find something on my list(Out of 55 your odds are pretty good.)that can help cure your case of "boredothermia". Enjoy!
Want more boredom relief ? Comment below if you want more! *no one comments, life goes on, but Sarah is slightly sad* I hope list didn't make you bored! That would be very counter productive. I couldn't decide what to post about today and I came up with this, so I hope you enjoyed it. Keep being awesome. Sarah, the human <3 |
