EASY CHRISTMAS SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, softened butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms.
• Shape dough into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls. In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Roll balls in sugar-cinnamon mixture. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Discard any remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture after rolling balls.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 1 minute. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Decorate as desired using icings. Store cookies covered in airtight container. If decorating with icings, once icings are set, store cookies loosely covered in a single layer.

THE BEST SNICKERDOODLE COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer.
• Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, just until combined.
• In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon.
• If time allows, wrap the dough and let refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Roll into small balls until round and smooth. Drop into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well. Using a spoon, coat for a second time, ensuring the cookie balls are completely covered. *To make flatter snickerdoodles, press down in the center of the ball before placing in the oven. This helps to keep them from puffing up in the middle. *
• Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Let cool for several minutes on baking sheet before removing from the pan.

SNICKERDOODLE/SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
• 2. In large bowl, beat sugar, butter, shortening and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until well creamed.
• 3. Stir in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt until thoroughly blended together. I prefer to use my hands for this step.
• 4. If you are not ready to bake your cookies, you may cover with cellophane wrap and place bowl in refrigerator for up to 24 hours until ready to shape and bake.
• 5. When ready: shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon and then roll the balls into the mixture before placing on ungreased baking sheet. (Remember to omit cinnamon, if you are making sugar cookies.) Cookies should be 2 inches apart.
• 6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to counter top or wire rack and let cool.
• 7. If using self-rising flour, omit the cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. All-purpose flour works best.

SUGAR FREE SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 and prep a cookie sheet for nonstick.
• In a small bowl, use a fork to mix together the cinnamon with 1/4 cup of the sugar alternative then set this bowl aside.
• Now, in a medium bowl, whisk or sift together your flour, cream of tarter, baking soda, and salt. Set this bowl aside for a moment while you continue to work
• Next in a mixing bowl, cream together 1 1/2 cups of the sugar alternative with the butter, and shortening.
• For the next step we will add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the creamed ingredients in the mixing bowl. To do this simply add half of the dry ingredients, gently mix, and then add the remaining and the gently mix again.Now we will add the eggs, one egg at a time, and then the vanilla extract to the mixing bowl.
• To form the cookies, simply roll each individual cookie into a ball and then roll that ball into the first bowl (small bowl with the cinnamon and sugar alternative) to cover the cookie. Then place the rolled cookie on to the prepped cookie sheet and repeat until all of the cookies have been formed. Be sure to leave plenty of room between cookies on the sheet as they will flatten as they bake.
• Bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they begin to 'crack'. Allow them to cool on the sheet before transferring.

SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES RECIPE WITH CREAM OF TARTAR

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring the butter and eggs to room temperature (slightly warm).
• In the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the softened butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. See above for pictures. You can also use a hand mixer, you'll just have to mix for longer.
• Add in the egg and egg yolk and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and creamy. This gives lift to the cookies and will cause them to rise and fall, creating those beautiful cracks.
• Add in the baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix for 1 minute on medium, scraping the sides of the bowl.
• Add the flour and mix on low until just combined.
• Combine your cinnamon and sugar in a medium bowl, stir evenly to combine.
• Use a medium cookie scoop to make 2-Tablespoon sized dough balls. Roll each into a ball shape and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. I only coat the top in cinnamon sugar, but you can roll the entire ball if desired.
• Place the cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and let your cookies rest at room temperature for 20 minutes while the oven heats up. This prevents over-spreading but it's optional.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, 10 if you want soft cookies, 12 if you want the edges to be slightly crispy.
• Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store at room temperature for about 4 days.

SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F¹ (175C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper
• In stand mixer or with hand mixer cream butter and sugar together on medium-low speed until combined.
• Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, stirring again until combined. Pause to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
• In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
• With mixer on low speed, gradually stir flour mixture into your butter mixture until completely combined (the dough becomes fairly thick, and you will need to scrape the sides/bottom of the bowl several times to ensure it is well combined).
• In a separate small bowl, stir together cinnamon and sugar for rolling.
• Roll dough into 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized balls and roll in your cinnamon/sugar mixture.
• Place on prepared cookie sheets and bake on 350F (175C) for 11-12 minutes, the centers may appear slightly under-done still and that is OK! Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet where they will finish baking without drying out or becoming hard or crumbly.

SUGAR FREE SNICKERDOODLES

• Mix together butter and sugar until smooth, then add the eggs, cream of tarter and baking soda. Mix in flour, until well mixed. Roll balls into 1 inch diameter and roll in the cinnamon mixture.
• Place on ungreased cookie sheets and bake 8-10 minutes ( I found 8 mins goes well with my oven) Cookies are done when they just barely turn brown.
• Enjoy the recipe!
