That being said, I did NOT want to make snickerdoodles tonight! We started our day by going to a fall festival to watch some friends of ours band play, and then went straight to Landon's double header, only to be immediately followed up with a football game tonight. So, I was tired and didn't really want to make anything. But, I did and they were SO easy!
I had never made snickerdoodles before, but I have always wanted to try!
I used a recipe from Betty Crocker but I was a little disappointed with the detail of the recipe and I did end up tweaking it slightly. Here is my tweaked recipe.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Mix the 1 1/2 cups sugar, butter, and eggs together until combined.
Add the cream of tarter, baking soda, salt, and flour. Mix well, until it forms a dough. This takes quite a bit of mixing.
Form as many 1 1/2 in. balls with the dough as you can. Mix remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon together. Liberally roll each of the balls in the sugar mixture.
Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and using the flat bottom of a cup to gently flatten the cookie to about 1/2 in. thick.
Bake @ 400 degrees for 10 min.
Let cool and enjoy!
I did have one mishap. I caught my plastic spatula in the beaters and broke 2 little pieces off losing them in the dough. I thought I may have to throw the whole batch away but Pete and I searched the dough and actually found the missing pieces. I played puzzle with the spatula to make sure that I had all of the plastic pieces. You know it's always an adventure!
