It’s that time of the year again! No, I’m not talking about the holiday season…I’m talking about finals week!! And what goes best with finals week? SUGAR (and caffeine if you are so inclined)! Now given the fact that I somehow need to be able to spit out everything there is to know about the brain tomorrow morning…and I seem to only have learned one hemisphere of it, I’m gonna leave you with a short, and very sweet post.
Here are some delicious snickerdoodles created using a recipe provided by my wonderful friend Lauren (who got it from her best friend, Maya…who got it from her sister…who got it from…?). Just a warning, this recipe makes a lot of cookies, and they are not exactly what I would call healthy…so make sure you have plenty of people to give these cookies to when you set out to make this recipe. I mean, it is supposed to be the holiday season of giving!
What you need:
- 3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Cinnamon Sugar (4 tbs sugar and 1 tbs cinnamon)
What you need to do:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and grease or line your cookie sheet.
- Stir together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt (please notice I did not mention sugar).
- Beat butter for 30 seconds, then add sugar and beat until fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Add the eggs, milk and vanilla; beat well.
- Add the dry ingredients to butter mixture, and mix for another minute or so.
- Form dough into walnut-sized balls and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place 2 inches apart on sheet and flatten with the bottom of drinking glass.
- Bake for about 8 minutes.
- Enjoy!
tasty!
