Yum, Snickerdoodles!
That's right, Snickerdoodles! Mmmm! She uses an old family recipe and said I could share it with you! It's from her mom, so we'll call it ... The Z Family Snickerdoodles! Ready?
The Z Family Snickerdoodles
1 cup soft margarine (Mom swears by Parkay and at other brands; I don't know why)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs (Mom uses extra large ones)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (Mom only uses King Arthur)
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix the first three ingredients; beat well. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients, then add to the rest. CHILL DOUGH THOROUGHLY. Mom often makes the dough in the evening, then bakes the next day.
Roll dough into little balls - about the size of a quarter - or use a little cookie scoop.
Roll in a mixture - oh, wait. Roll the DOUGH BALLS (hee hee hee!) in a mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons of the freshest cinnamon you can get.
Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 400 degrees F (yes, that hot!) for 8-10 minutes or until about the color of Zim. :)
Can you almost smell them?
Mmm... Snickerdoodles!
I hope you'll give them a try. They're really wonderful.
Speaking of really wonderful, a big THANK YOU to my wonderful friends Jazz and Dixie! They sent me a picture of a sign from one of the parks they go to in Japan.
That's right - no brushing your dog! I'm going to enlarge this, print it out, and hang it somewhere for my mom to see! :)
Love and full moon fun,
Ammy
TeeHee -

My mom makes Snickerdoodles for my Missouri grandpa. I don't know if her recipe is the same as yours, but I bet your mom makes them better!

Mom has made Snickerdoodles before and they're VERY yummy! She usually gets on a cookie baking kick at Christmas time!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,

What an appropriate recipe from my funny girl.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I can't mind meld with the human woman and get her to try this.
love,
Brice
That sounds yummylicious!
ReplyDeleteMum always gets confused about all purpose flour though, here we have self raising and plain flour and she is never quite sure which to use when the recipe says all purpose.
Yes.. reason #599 why living is in the UK (aka UtterlyKrap) sucks!

Oh, Snickerdoodles. They sound yummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dave. We might qualify for the shortest retirement in history. But how can a human - at least our human - resist sobbing meezers?
Thanks for the recipe! Mom has been having trouble with her snickerdoodle recipe for a long tim. It used to be fine, but then all of a sudden they didn't tasete right and they were too crunchy! Crunchy snickerdoodles aren't as yummy as soft ones!. We'll try your recipe next time!
ReplyDeleteKaos
Oh those cookies look quite heaavenly! I need to alert Mom to the fact that the official recipe has been posted. Love that dog park! The world needs more signs like that. Were there directions?
ReplyDeleteECHO
I never let mum brush me Ammy so you should come and stay with me. There's no brushing in our house, ever!
ReplyDeleteMum is going to make those cookies soon! We have printed out the recipe already.
