SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Add the butter, 1 cup of the granulated sugar, brown sugar and egg to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium speed just to combine, about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture in 2 parts and beat on low until just combined. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Form the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon dough per cookie). Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar and coat well; arrange on two baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Do not flatten the balls, as they will spread a lot in the oven.
• Bake one sheet of cookies at a time until the tops look cracked and the center still feels soft, about 9 minutes. Let the cookies cool in the pan for 3 minutes; they will continue cooking during this time. Once they've firmed up a little, transfer them to a rack to continue cooling. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

SNICKERDOODLE DANDIES

Steps:

• The recipe makes about 24 snickerdoodle cookies. It's divided in half to make two different flavours of snickerdoodles at a time (approx 12 each). Choose from blueberry, banana and apricot, walnut and raisin or apple. Most cookie recipes use a higher proportion of sugar and butter which makes them either crisp and thin or soft and chewy. For a less sugary treat, I've used a lower ratio of sugar, which creates light and cakey texture - the added fruit and nuts provide extra natural sweetness.
• Preheat the oven to 180C, Gas 4.
• Ensure the butter is at a cool room temperature. Mix the butter with the sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
• Add the salt, vanilla and egg to the butter and continue mixing until combined and smooth and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Weigh the flour and put into a bowl, add the baking powder and mix well with a whisk. Add to the butter mix and blend on a low speed with the electric mixer, or a wooden spoon until it just comes together. Let the dough rest in the fridge whilst measuring the added ingredients.
• Divide the mixture in half and add one choice of ingredients to each half
• Mix the cinnamon sugar and put in a wide flat bowl. Using a soup spoon, scoop out dough and work in the palms of hands to make a small golf ball size ball. Roll this in the cinnamon sugar and place on a baking sheet. Press down in a firm stroke to slightly flatten the ball to a disc about 2cm thick. The cookies do not spread very much, but allow plenty of space between each. Ideally, cook one tray of cookies at a time.
• Bake toward the top of the oven for between 12-15 minutes until browned at the edges. Remove from the oven and leave on the baking tray to cool for a few minutes. Then transfer to a rack and cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
• Tips: The snickerdoodles are also good plain, or with added chocolate chips. Sprinkle any leftover cinnamon sugar on hot buttered toast...
