CINNAMON & SPICE

Well, it seems like I'm getting the hang of baking cookies.

I haven't screwed up in a while.

I guess old dogs CAN learn new tricks.

SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

This is the first time I have made snicker doodles...in fact I think

I have only had them once. I'm kind of a cookie jerk; if it's not chocolate,

I don't want it. I'm slowly learning to enjoy other types of sweets

other than chocolate...although chocolate will always be my #1. 

Ingredients:

2 3/4 cups of flour

2 tsp of baking powder

1/2 tsp of salt

2 sticks of butter, room temperature

1 1/2 cups of sugar

2 eggs

set aside a mixture of :

2 tablespoons of sugar

2 tablespoons of cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350

In a medium sized bowl mix together the butter and the sugar until

fluffy. 

Then mix in the eggs on a low setting.

Add the dry ingredients directly into the butter mixture.

Add small amounts at a time.

Time to get out your mixture of cinnamon & sugar.

Now comes the fun part, form the dough into balls, and 

roll them around in your cinnamon mixture.

Space 3 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.

(Don't they look like cinnamon Munchkins from Dunkin Donuts?)

I was really tempted to pop one in my mouth...but instead used my will power and said

"Lauren, you're watching your weight... just lick the bowl clean instead."

Bake the cookies for 13 minutes exactly, try to let them cool before you eat them all.

Taste Testers:

LAUREN: I mean... they are pretty good. They are NOT as good as every other chocolate cookie in the world. They are a good alternative though. 

CJ:  What can I say?  These are super solid Snickerdoodles. Great flavor and perfect texture.
