CINNAMON CRISPS COOKIES [SNICKERDOODLES]
This is a European version of the snickerdoodle. This cookie has the softest dough and makes a bakery-style cookie that will impress you. (Recipe from Chef Express: Home Baking translated cookbook) Tip: You can make caster sugar by putting granulated sugar in your blender and pulse for about 1-2 minutes. The sugar should be reduced to half. It doesn't take long.. be careful not to turn it into sugar powder. However, most supermarkets do carry 10X sugar aka SuperFine sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the 1 1/2 cups sugar, butter, shortening, and eggs. Stir in the dry ingredients. Fold in the cinnamon chips.
- Scoop dough into a rounded tablespoon balls (I used a medium sized dough/cookie scoop). Roll balls in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Place 2 inches apart on non-stick cookie sheets.
- Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from sheets and cool completely on a wire rack.
Tips:
- Use room temperature butter. This will make the dough easier to mix and will result in a more tender cookie.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and will prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to stay crisp.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon Crisps, also known as Snickerdoodles, are a classic cookie that is easy to make and always a hit. With their crispy edges, chewy centers, and sweet cinnamon flavor, these cookies are sure to please everyone. Whether you're baking them for a special occasion or just for a snack, Cinnamon Crisps are a delicious and satisfying treat.
