Snickerdoodles!

These were amazing!! 

They hardly lasted the morning! 

I sent a baker's dozen with my husband to work this morning and everyone was wanting more! 

Snickerdoodles are a favorite of mine. Always have been always will. 

The Hummingbird Bakery Cake Days has a recipe too slightly different that I plan to try out sometime. Time for a little comparison! :0) 

Do you have a favorite cookie or biscuit? 

Snickerdoodles tend to be a little more cakey, but all we need to know is that it is delicious!

Snickerdoodles: 

250g plain flour
½ tsp ground nutmeg
¾ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
125g butter, room temperature
100g plus 2 tbsp caster sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp cinnamon

  1. Pre-heat oven 180*C or 350*F or gas mark 4
  2. Combine flour, nutmeg, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl cream the butter with 100g sugar until light and pale in color
  4. Beat in egg and vanilla
  5. Stir in dry mixture
  6. Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon together and spread on plate

  8. Roll the dough balls in the sugar and cinnamon

  1. Snickerdoodles are a family favorite. Growing up I thought they were from a secret family recipe because no one ever heard of them... until one day another kid in school had some in his lunch. I then found out it was just a recipe from a cookie cookbook. I was devistated, but got over it. They will always be my favorite.
