Its Not Funny Snickerdoodles :)


The first time I made Snickerdoodles was with my daughter Sara when she was taking "Fun with Foods" as a 4-H project. I don't recall how many batches we made until we got the perfectly round, perfectly cracked, soft in the middle and crispy outside cinnamony sugar cookies just right for judging, but it was a lot!


If you are making these delightfully addicting cookies, here are Sue's hard and fast rules for perfect Snickerdoodles:
  • Always use the CREAM of TARTAR-never omit it!

  • Use chilled dough-it helps with the proper crackage and in keeping the inside soft. Is "crackage" a word?

  • Make sure you hand roll the dough and roll in the sugar/cinnamon mix.

  • Remove the cookies from the oven as soon as they are deeply cracked.
Good luck with your Snickerdoodle baking and remember........if you screw them up, you can always come to the Farmers' Market and get them from me!

*This week's pies include: Big-n-Bold Blackberry; Beautiful Blueberry, Razzle Red Raspberry, Fence Row Black Raspberry, Mom's Granny Smith Apple, Gramma Rose's Award Winning Peach, and Summertime Strawberry Rhubarb. I'll also have Pastry Lemonade w/Pecans. See you at the market!!
