It’s a crisp fall Sunday evening, and the kids are craving dessert. It’s 6 p.m., it’s dark, we’ve had dinner, and frankly I’m ready for bed. If I went to bed now I’d be up all night, so I decided to make cookies for my teenagers.
These are quick and delicious, plus I had the ingredients.
*Preheat oven to 375° F
Snickerdoodles
- 1/2 c. Butter
- 1 c. Sugar
- 1 egg
Cream together, then add:
- 1/4 tsp. Kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. Cream of Tartar
- 1 1/2 c. Flour
Mix well. If it’s crumbly (mine was), add 1-2 tsp. water and mix.
Next blend together on a separate plate:
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon
Roll into ping pong sized balls, then roll in cinnamon-sugar mix and place on cookie sheet.
Bake at 375° for 10-11 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest on the cookie sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
Enjoy!
