My Nana made snickerdoodles every Christmas. Then my mom and I made these most every year growing up. There are so many snickerdoodle recipes out there - but this - in my opinion is the best. One year was at my sister's for Xmas and we tried a generic recipe - they were good - but not like Nana's!!! This recipe makes a ton - suitable for xmas parties / large groups. (but you seriously wouldn't want to make a 1/2 batch... trust me on this! ;) Ingredients:
2 cups crisco (or 1 c butter and 1 c crisco) |
3 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
5 1/2 cups flour |
4 teaspoons cream of tartar |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
2 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. In a separate bowl, mix Flour, Cream of Tartar, Baking Soda and Salt. Whisk to combine.
2. Cream sugar and Crisco/Butter in your Mixer
3. Add Eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each egg.
4. Add flour mixture slowly till combined.
5. Chill the dough - for a while - hour or more?.
6. Roll balls into walnut size.
7. Roll balls into a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. (Use as much or as little cinnamon as you like).
8. Bake at 400 for 8 - 10 minutes - but the cookies are BEST undercooked!
9. Enjoy!
