Snickerdoodles are the classic cinnamon-sugar cookie, simple and tasty.
Now enter SUPERDOODLES! Superdoodles are Snickerdoodles with an extra
flavorful kick that comes from an addition of these cute little Hershey's Cinnamon Chips
to the recipe (thanks Annette!). If you really like cinnamon you will love these
cookies! If you like a crisper cookie flatten the dough balls before
baking. For a more chewy texture just leave the dough balls round and
bake. I did half crispy and half chewy–super easy cinnamon-sugar
goodness (plus it's really fun to say the name)! Here is how you can
make your own:
You can find the entire recipe here.
This recipe calls for 12 ounces of cinnamon chips but my bag of
Hershey's Cinnamon Chips was only 10 ounces and there were plenty of
chips throughout the dough. You can also make these without the cinnamon
chips but then they are just snickerdoodles not SUPERDOODLES!
Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat. Set aside. Whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. This will be used to coat the dough balls before baking.
In the bowl of an
electric mixer beat together the shortening and sugar until creamy. Add
the eggs one at a time beating until smooth and well incorporated. Beat
in the vanilla. In another bowl whisk together the flour, cream of
tarter, baking soda and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture
until just combined. Add the cinnamon chips and mix until just combined
and no clumps of flour are left. Do not over beat the dough or the
cookies will be tough. Using a small ice cream scoop (I used a
Tablespoon, not a teaspoon like the recipe suggested) and form balls of
dough. Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on
the baking sheet. I placed nine dough balls on my cookie sheet (three
across and three down).
If you want a crisper cookie go ahead and press
the balls down with the bottom of a glass until they are around 1/4"
thick. If you want a chewier cookie just leave them in a ball shape.
Bake for around 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are just starting to
brown. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack and then dust lightly
with some extra cinnamon. This recipe yields around 90 cookies.
Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat. Set aside. Whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. This will be used to coat the dough balls before baking.
Yay, Anna! Successfully tracking you from the Vox import...cinnamon chips also available by mail from King Arthur Flour's Baker's Catalog. These sound delish.
