Snickerdoodles

This recipe is an adaptation from a Food Network Kitchens recipe. They are incredibly easy, and don't require cream of tartar like most snickerdoodle recipes, so you likely already have all the ingredients on hand. In a week I will be in full finals mode and really needed the pick-me-up. These do it every time.

Snickerdoodles
2-3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 sticks butter, room temperature
1-1/2 cups + 3 Tbs sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbs cinnamon

Cream together butter and 1-1/2 cups sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is mixed in completely before adding the next.

Add the flour, baking soda and salt and blend until smooth.

Mix together remaining 3 Tbs sugar and 1 Tbs cinnamon in a bowl. Roll dough into 1-1/2 inch balls and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. Place evenly on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. Cool on wire rack.


They certainly made law school more bearable tonight.
