Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles

Sugar cookies rolled in cinnamon and sugar that are oh so simple and yet oh so good!

With all of the staying at home lately I’ve been doing more baking and I though that I would take the opportunity to update the photos for one of my favourite cookie recipes that I recently made, snickerdoodles. Snickerdoodles are basically a sugar cookie where the dough is formed into a ball and pressed into a mixture of sugar and cinnamon before being baked. The result is a soft and chewy cookie that has a coating of crispy sugar and cinnamon that melts into your mouth! Yum! Pure bliss! These cookies are super easy to make where you mix the wet ingredients, mix the dry ingredients, mix the wet into the dry and then form the balls, roll them in the sugar and cinnamon and bake. In less than 30 minutes you can be enjoying a still warm batch of freshly made snickerdoodles!

    You might want to double check either the butter or flour amounts…I had to add way more than 1 1/4 cups flour (not sure exactly how much, sorry!) to get them to stick together correctly. But after that, they were delicious!

    I love snickerdoodles but my grandmother usually sends them to me as part of a care package so I've never actually had to make them myself. Maybe I'll give it a try this year.

    Liz: I am ad that you got them to work. Both amounts are correct and the ones that I have been using. The 1/2 cup of butter is also 1 stick or 8 tablespoons.

    Adding these to my holiday list of "things to cook and bake" – they look absolutely fantastic. I am a terrible baker (things always burn or come out raw), but I think this might be my saving grace. Happy holidays!

    Have been a fan of Snickerdoodles since my childhood when my mother made them. But, where is the cream of tarter. That's what makes them Snickerdoodles.

    Could you please explain the discrepancy i.e the baking soda and cream of tartar in the ingredients and the baking powder in the directions .
    Is your recipe a modification of another one?
    Thanks, M

      It should be baking “soda” and cream of tartar with no baking powder. Enjoy!

    Kevin, I’m looking for a cookie that is crisp on the outside and chewy tender on the inside. Your’s look like they might fit the bill. Do they?

    I’ve tried other but they miss the mark.
