the one where cinnamon stumped me

Unsuspecting freckled appearance.

Crunchy outside, chewy center.

Subtle hint of cinnamon love in every bite.

Three days on, still perfect texture.

I’m sold.

Try it, and you’ll know what I mean.

Snickerdoodles
(adapted from Martha’s Holiday Cookies)
- makes about 40 small, or 20 regular -

2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs

2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
3. Cream butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Mix in eggs. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture.
5. Stir together cinnamon and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl.
6. Shape dough into 20 (1 3/4-inch) balls; roll in cinnamon sugar. Space 3 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

Note: I got about 40 small ones by shaping 1/2 tablespoon of dough.
