Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies. They're essentially just butter cookies with cinnamon. I've been cooking a lot at home and decided to make some for my round of Monday Game Plan meetings at the office. 

My favorite website for recipes as of late is a site I stumbled upon -- www.tastespotting.com -- and found a recipe for "The Best Snickerdoodle Ever!" What could beat that right? I wrote the recipe down on my idea notebook a week ago and after my wonderful day with the girls last Saturday passed by CVC along Marcos High-way to grab the goodies for my cookies.

The Best Snickerdoodle EVER

1/2 a cup of butter softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cream of tartar

The recipe is so simple. I was making these cookies while Chi and I contemplated on what to eat for Sunday Family time Sunday morning.

I forget how many cookies the recipe was for but I doubled up on all the ingredients. All you have to do is mix all the wet ingredients and all the dry ingredients and then combine them together and VIOLA! hahaha :)) You have to refrigerate it so that the magic happens," preferably overnight" the recipe states. I put the bater in the freezer at 1030 and baked them in the evening at 6.

I just eyeballed an ideal size cut the frozen batter into sections. Put a bit of flour on my hands and rolled them into balls. In my test batch I rolled the cookie balls in a mixture of brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon-- a whole lot of cinnamon.

The test batch were ready for dessert at the dinner table... I was first to take a bite. And I was so kilig-- Again--- as I always am when I cook and it actually tastes good :) hihihihi "Oh my God. It's Good YOU HAVE TO TRY." Mom was second to finish her dinner and said "Uy, sarap nga! Akin nalang, I'll bring them to Laguna!" I go-- "No way! They're for my office!" Chi tells Gcza "Ina wants to be a Mommy in her office." I was so kilig to hear that, I'm glad he knows :) I patiently wait for Chi to finish their take-out from Sushi-Ya so he could taste the cookies. I warn him that maybe there might be a bit too much cinnamon-- When he takes a bite--- he tries to hide it but goes "Sige na nga, Its good!" I do my kilig dance with my shoulders-- He says "But maybe too much cinnamon. So the rest were only rolled in cinnamon on one side.
