Snickerdoodles

December 16, 2018 by mgrc 1 Comment

Reader Rachel writes, “OMG I love this card set. I have them as well (an incomplete set as well though).. I am looking for the Snickerdoodles recipe. I lost the card and of course, it is my husband’s favorite cookie that I make.” 

You’ve got it, Rachel! There are a zillion Snickerdoodle recipes online, but I see why you find this one interesting — there’s a half teaspoon of nutmeg mixed into the cookie.

I also see that it doesn’t have the standard cream of tartar that most Snickerdoodle recipes have.

It also has you use the tines of a fork to press down the cookie before baking. I don’t remember doing that with any snickerdoodles, but maybe I’m doodle dreaming.

The card says you can bake these cookies to fill the cookie jar if you only have basic ingredients on hand. The balls of dough are rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking and flattened with the tines of a fork before being baked crisp. 

Tips: For easy shaping of cookie dough, you can use a tiny ice cream scoop – #70 or smaller.
