Snickerdoodles
My youngest brother requested Snickerdoodles a few weeks ago. Since he is home for Thanksgiving this weekend, I figured I'd be a nice big sister and make him some. Please excuse the poor quality photos, my camera decided to die this week, so until Santa comes I'm using my phone.
The recipe is from Gooseberry Patch's Farmhouse Christmas Cookbook:
In a bowl, cream 1c. shortening & 1-1/2 c. sugar:
Add 2 eggs & beat:
Sift together 2-3/4 c. all-purpose flour, 2 t. cream of tartar, 1 t. baking soda, & 1/2 t. salt & add to shortening mixture. Shape into one-inch balls, and roll balls into a mixture of 2 T. sugar & 2 t. cinnamon:
Place 2 inches apart on lightly oiled cookie sheet:
Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

great pics for using your phone! my kitchen is like a cave - with those horrid CFL's - ugg! I hate my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteanyway. I don't think I have ever had a snickerdoodle - may have to try is one day!
www.jadedpointofview.com - sorry had to add it here - blogspot won't allow me to comment with my web address. ;)
Oh yum! Those look delish! :D
ReplyDeleteThose do look yummy! Such a simple cookie but everyone loves them. I have a confession on a shortcut. Back in the day, I worked as a property manager at a fabulous apartment community. We had one of those lovely Otis Spunkmeyer cookie ovens and the frozen dough balls. I'd bake sugar cookies and sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar just before they were done. YUM!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there is yet another Gooseberry Patch cookbook I need to order.
Thank you for this recipe! My husband has recently hinted at wanting Snickerdoodle cookies, but I didn't have a recipe handy. This looks perfect. :)

These look lovely, I love snickerdoodles! :)
ReplyDeleteSugar free Maple Snickerdoodles: Substitute 2/3 cup of Maple flavored Agave syrup for the sugar, use baking truvia for the sprinkles on top.
ReplyDeleteSnickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies. My Grandma makes the best Snickerdoodles!! I'm gonna try to make these and hopefully they come out as good as your picture looks! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite cookie for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHow yummy! Snickerdoodles remind me of childhood :) Thanks for the recipe, I'm adding it to my "to bake" list! #ChristmasRoundUP
ReplyDeleteThese bombed because there was no butter in the recipe! :/
ReplyDeleteHello, the very 1st ingredient is 1 cup of shortening.
