Snickerdoodles
Makes about 26 biscuits
Ingredients
125g butter, softened
110g caster sugar, plus 1 dessertspoon extra, for rolling
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
250g plain flour
½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
¾ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 dessertspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 180oC/350oF/Gas mark 4.
Cream the butter in a large bowl or in an electric food mixer until soft. Add the 110g caster sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Sift in the flour, nutmeg, baking powder and salt and gently mix together to form a dough.
Mix the dessertspoon of sugar and the cinnamon together in a medium-sized bowl. Using your hands, roll the dough into walnut-sized balls then roll in the sugar and cinnamon mixture and place on two baking trays (no need to grease or line), each ball spaced about 3cm/1 ¼ in apart. Flatten them down with the palm of your hands.
Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they feel firm around the edges.
Allow to stand for 2 minutes on the baking trays, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool.

I love snickerdoodles, Maria! Especially the soft cakey ones like these. They look so yummy. A nice treat for your sweet hubby!
Yay! They're ace aren't they?! I need to make more, I was worried about me eating them all but my brother got hold of them and now I only have one left! :(
I simply adore these cookies, they are so soft and the scent of cinnamon and sugar is just mouth watering.
Last time I made mine I messed them up by adding an extra egg by mistake, but they still turned out OK really, so I'm a fan of the Snickerdoodle too:) These look perfect:)
I love Snickerdoodles! Yours look like they've come out really well
Why are they called Snickerdoodles? That seems to imply nutty chocolatey cake surely? Unless I guess these came before that chocolate bar...?
That's a funny name for cookies. I've never heard of these before but they sound delicious. I was expecting to see some snickers inside.
These snickerdoodles look absolutely fabulous! I'm sure your hubby absolutely loved them. Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies. I'm so glad that you made them!! Sorry that I've been an absent commenter; I just finished up my law school exams and am finally getting around to my google reader.
Hi Maria,
