Back-to-school cookies: Snickerdoodles
It's back-to-school time, if you can believe it. I am prepared because I have no one to send back to school yet and I have seen backpacks and other supplies in the stores since 4th of July. These two things have made me mentally ready for this.
But if you aren't, a quick way to fake it is to have a nice after-school treat to mark the start of another year in the classroom. Fill the cookie jar with snickerdoodles!
I realized I have never made these before (so I wanted to) and on my cookie scale (which I keep in my head and refer to often), these seem somewhat of a healthier choice, well below chocolate chip, though slightly above oatmeal raisin. Plus a little sugar burst helps during homework time.
Snickerdoodles
Ingredients:
1 C. butter
1 ½ C. white sugar
2 eggs
2 ¾ C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cream of tartar
¼ tsp. salt
Equal parts (couple teaspoons of each) white sugar and cinnamon, mixed
Directions:
Cream butter and sugar, adding eggs one at a time, until smooth. Sift together flour, soda, cream of tartar and salt. Stir dry mixture into creamed mixture; blend well. Roll dough into ping pong-sized balls; roll each ball into the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8 or 9 minutes (soft in the middle, a little brown on the edges) at 375 degrees.
