Why I Love Snickerdoodle Cookies

        Snickerdoodle cookies are amazing and they are my favorite type of cookie. Why you may ask? Continue reading to find out my reasons!


1. You only need a few simple ingredients, all of which you likely have in your home kitchen.

Here is the recipe below and you can see that their are not many ingredients and the only one that you may not have at home would be the cream of tartar. (You actually do not need this ingredient, unless you want the cookies to be soft.)

Prep time:

Total time:  
Serves: 24
 
Ingredients
  • 3 cups flour
  • ½ tsp cream of tartar
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 2 cups sugar, plus more if needed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, plus more if needed
  • ½ cup additional sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400.
  2. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda; set aside.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine softened butter and 2 cups sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. (If your mixer is 35 years old like mine is, and you're afraid at any minute that it will croak, you don't have to beat it this long.)
  4. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add eggs, and beat to combine.
  5. Add dry ingredients, and beat to combine.
  6. At this point, if you have time, chill the dough for an hour (or you can overnight) before scooping it. If you're in a hurry for Snickerdoodles (and who isn't?) you can skip this step. Trust me.
  7. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup sugar and the ground cinnamon. Use a small ice-cream scoop or a teaspoon to scoop balls of dough, and roll in cinnamon sugar.
  8. Place about two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake until the cookies are set in center and begin to crack (they will not brown), about 10-14 minutes.
  10. Transfer sheets to a wire rack to cool.
2. You get to make little balls out of the dough, and then roll them in sugar-cinnamon. This is basically playing with your food. Plus, you can eat a little sugary ball from time to time. Icing. On the cake. As it were. :)

3. Snickerdoodle are wonderful hot out of the oven. They are equally captivating in their cooled state. They are good with coffee. They are great with milk. They are even better with hot chocolate.

4. The name: “Snickerdoodle.” It’s fun to bandy around. It’s super-fun to say when one is on the phone, as in “Yes, hi there, I’m just making Snickerdoodles. . . “ Try it.Say it aloud. See? Wasn’t that fun? Don’t you want to say that to somebody?

5. They do not take long at all too make. In 12 minutes of baking them they are all done. If I add up all the time it takes to prepare, cook, and cook it's about 40 minutes or less depending at how fast you are at mixing the ingredients and if you want to eat a cookie straight out of the oven. (Personally, I wait a few minutes for my snickerdoodle cookies to cool down but to each their own.)

Three Teachers and The Lessons They Taught Me

Image
     Throughout my time in elementary, middle, high school, and even now in college  I have been impacted from my teachers who have instructed me. Sometimes this impact is how the teachers' had hoped with me as their student gaining a sense of how a particular societal brief operates in the real world or the proper way to formulate a hypothesis when conducting a chemistry experiment how light fractures through different liquids. In order to understand how a few teachers have impacted me, I need to explain what I was laking prior to taking these classes. 6th Grade - English - Ms. Centrella      As a avid reader English was a subject I generally did not struggle with English...until it came to Ms. Centrella's grammar quizzes. I hated them. I would dread going to her class to take them. Those 10 question quizzes were the bane of my existence. Needless to say, turns out I was terrible at grammar and as someone who grew up in a household where getting a B w...

Spices, Glorious Spices

Spices, Glorious Spices     Personally, when it comes to garlic I enjoy it on your standard garlic bread, garlic knots, and white pizza.          A not so common garlic meal combo that I enjoy are garlic mashed potatoes. I guess you can say my taste in food revolving around garlic tend to be quite bland and also oddly all around the same color. To change the topic in a direction I am more passionate, I must introduce my favorite food. Pierogies. Pierogies are polish fried dumplings that can have potatoes, cheese and potatoes, meat, strawberries, lentils, mushrooms, spinach and garlic, smoked cheese and cranberry, etc. The most common filling is just potato. Garlic is not used in this dish; however onion powder is. But what is onion powder? Onion powder is a seasoning made from dehydrated ground onions according to Google. This spice has the concentrated onion flavor without the moisture and bulk of the onion bulb itself. During the proce...

3 Classes I'm Hype For

Image
      Out of the classes I have selected to choose for next semester, three of them I am quite excited for.  My main reasoning behind selecting these three classes is because each course is based on teaching something that interests me. (Thinking about this now, that's generally the main reason someone is interested in a class.) Korean  I:      My main reasoning behind being excited for this course is because I really want to learn the language as I am interested in the Korean  culture. If my skills in Korean getting to the point that I feel comfortable having a conversation in the language, I'd love to study  abroad there. Of course, I understand learning a new language is very very very hard, especially East Asian languages. For a native English speaker learning this type of language is very hard because the grammar, writing system, and their structure of formal language is completely different from the way English is structured. ...
