The Snickerdoodle is a sugar cookie, probably of German origin, characterized by a cracked surface. They can be crisp or soft--it's your preference. The point is, they are delicious.
Foodie Byte: You can have fun with the name, but even more fun with the flavor. The Snickerdoodle is nothing to laugh about, but offers plenty to smile about!
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add 2 cups sugar, beating well. Add eggs, milk, vanilla and almond extracts.
- Combine four, baking powder, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended.
- Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll dough into a 1 inch ball, roll into the sugar mixture and coat well then place on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork.
- Bake at 375ºF for 10-14 minutes or until lightly browned (ovens may vary so check to see browning around edges).
- Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
