Snickerdoodles With Self Rising Flour Food

SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Beat the butter and both sugars in a large bowl using an electric whisk for 2 mins until smooth and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla and beat until combined, scraping down the sides once. Add the flour, cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda and ¼ tsp salt, and mix until just combined. Stir in the milk to loosen the mixture.
• For the topping, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll 40g of the dough into a ball. Roll the dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then place it on the prepared tray and press it down lightly. Repeat with the remaining dough and topping, spacing the balls about 5cm apart.
• Bake for 10-12 mins until golden and puffed up. Leave to cool on the tray for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight tin for up to four days.

DAD'S FAVORITE SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• In small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for topping mix. Set aside.
• In large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, the margarine, shortening, vanilla and eggs. I find the texture of the cookies best if I stick to this margarine/shortening ratio.
• Sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
• Mix thoroughly into wet mixture (eggs/butter, etc).
• Shape into balls- I usually make a heaping teaspoonful-depends on your preference.
• Roll tops of balls into sugar/cinnamon mixture to coat.
• Place approximately 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes until set.
• Remove cookies immediately from sheet to rack to cool.
• TIP- I find best results also when I refrigerate the dough/balls between batches until they are baked. This keeps them from spreading out as much.
• ENJOY! ;).
