WORLD'S BEST SNICKERDOODLES



World's Best Snickerdoodles image

Title says it all. DO NOT OVERBAKE THEM, or you will be sorry. Best to pull them out when they look a little raw and let them harden a bit on the cookie sheet. I have given these as gifts, sold them, and made them for guests, but I never have any left over by the end of the day. They are also very pretty, with the nice "broken" top characteristic of Snicks.

Time 18m

Yield 36 cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla (this is an occasion worthy of GOOD vanilla!)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cream together butter and sugar.
  • Add in eggs, one at a time, along with vanilla, until well-combined.
  • Mix dry ingredients (flour, salt, soda, cream of tartar) in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredient mix into the wet mix in 2-3 stages.
  • Mix the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  • Use your hands to roll dough into little (ping-pong ball-sized) balls.
  • Roll dough-balls in the cinnamon/sugar mixture so they're covered all the way around. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 or 3 inches apart.
  • Bake 7 or 8 minutes, until they have spread out and have JUST started to turn brown. Remove from cookie sheets and place cookies on cooling rack to cool and set a little. If they're not completely cooked when they come out of the oven, let them cook a bit more on the cookie sheets, out of the oven. 7-8 minutes will make a nice, chewy cookie with a little crispness on the bottom.

The Best Snickerdoodles I Have Ever Eaten image

"This must be one of the best cookies I have ever eaten." Yep, that's what my mother said the first time I ever made this cookie. It is a GREAT cookie recipe, and not difficult to make at all. I tripled the recipe and took it to school to sell... I sold all of them with in an 80 minute time span to only 4 people. They are good cookies, I can't resist them whenever I make them. And they turn out so nice whenever you bake them, it's hard to make an ugly snickerdoodle. lol. Enjoy. (prep time is estimated)

Is your dream cookie crisp on the outside and soft in the middle? If so, these cinnamon biscuits are for you. A classic American bake, they're popular for a reason

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g unsalted butter, softened
150g caster sugar
50g light brown soft sugar
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
300g plain flour
1½ tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon

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.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and evenly, resulting in a more consistent batter and a more tender cookie.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This step incorporates air into the batter, which helps the cookies rise and become light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This helps prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar: Granulated sugar provides sweetness and structure, while brown sugar adds a slight caramel flavor and moisture.
  • Add a teaspoon of cream of tartar: This helps the cookies rise and become chewy.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This helps the dough firm up and makes it easier to handle.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving: This helps the cookies firm up and prevents them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Snickerdoodles are a classic cookie that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With their chewy texture, sweet and slightly tangy flavor, and signature coating of cinnamon sugar, they are a perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, these tips will help you make the best snickerdoodles you have ever tasted. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let's get baking!
