SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and 1 1/2 cups of the sugar together until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Then beat in the eggs and scrape the bowl. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture until well combined.
• Mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Use a 1 1/2-tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out the dough balls. Roll each ball in your hands to even out, then roll in the cinnamon sugar to thoroughly coat.
• Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake until just golden around the edges, 8 to 9 minutes. Cool for several minutes on the baking sheets before moving.

SNICKERDOODLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides for lifting out the finished bars.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer), cream the butter with 1 cup of the granulated sugar and all of the brown sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Scrape the bowl well with a rubber spatula, then add the eggs one at a time and mix on medium speed after each addition until well combined. Beat in the vanilla.
• Add the flour, baking powder and salt and pulse until they start to combine, then scrape the bowl well and mix on low speed until the dough is uniformly combined.
• Scoop the dough into the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Stir the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the bars.
• Bake until the edges are golden and the center is set, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool completely in the pan, then run a small spatula around the edge. Use the parchment overhang to carefully lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 16 equal bars.

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.

SPARKLING SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Mix together thoroughly the shortening, sugar and eggs.
• Sift together and stir in flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. Roll into balls the size of small walnuts.
• Roll in mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
• Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in medium to hot (400 degrees) oven until lightly brown but still soft. These cookies puff up at first, then flatten out with crinkled tops.

PERFECT VEGAN SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300°F.
• In a large bowl, cream the margarine and sugar together until smooth. Add the vanilla, and the cornstarch/soymilk mixture, and beat until well-mixed.
• In a smaller bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and tapioca/corn starch. Stir this into the wet ingredients and combine well.
• In a very small bowl stir together the granulated sugar, cinnamon and cocoa powder (if desired).
• Begin rolling the cookie dough into balls of about 3 tbsp each. Roll each ball in the cinnamon/sugar/cocoa powder mixture until completely coated and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Continue until all the dough is used up. Using the bottom of a glass, press down on each ball until they are about an inch thick. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes, and no more. The cookies should still seem very soft when you remove them from the oven. Let cool on the pans for about 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire baking rack and let cool completely.
