CINNAMON CRISPS COOKIES [SNICKERDOODLES]



Cinnamon Crisps Cookies [snickerdoodles] image

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.

This recipe is as close to foolproof as I have ever made. I have never made an edible cookie, and my wife of 32 years has always had difficulty makeing sugar cookies, so when I found this recipe in Cook,s Illustrated, I was amazed with how well this worked. I made some tweeks to lower the sugar amount and added cinnamon to change the flavor and look. Please enjoy!

Tips:

  • To ensure the perfect texture, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the dough, resulting in a soft and chewy cookie.
  • Chilling the dough before baking is essential for developing the cookie's flavor and preventing it from spreading too much. If you're short on time, you can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, but longer is better.
  • For a classic snickerdoodle, roll the dough balls in cinnamon sugar before baking. You can also get creative and use other toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even a drizzle of melted chocolate.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from breaking.
