Snickerdoodles

For Christmas we received a Woman's Weekly Cookie cook-book (thank you, Sean, Cassandra and Emma), yesterday I made some snickerdoodles from it. I forgot to add two of the ingredients, but they were still very yummy. Although, they would have tasted sweeter if I had added the cinnamon and sugar :)

This was the picture from the book

(it wasn't taken by me)

And these were the ones I made.

To make 42 Snickerdoodles you will need:

250g butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup (110g) firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup (220g) caster sugar

2 eggs

2 3/4 cups (410g)

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon caster sugar, extra

2 teaspoons round cinnamon

1. Beat butter, extract and sugars in small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Transfer to large bowl.

2. Stir in sifted flour, soda and nutmeg, in two batches. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Grease oven trays; line with baking paper.

4. (Don't forget this part :) Combine extra caster sugar and cinnamon in small shallow bowl. Roll level tablespoons of the dough into balls; roll balls in cinnamon sugar. Place balls about 7cm apart on oven trays.

5. Bake about 12 minutes. Cool on trays.

Enjoy!!
