…Snickerdoodles!
I
have never been much of a baker, preferring to spend my time in the kitchen either creating
gourmet light lunches or hearty dinners.
However,
after a disastrous attempt at making an apple crumble some weeks back, I
decided it was high time I employ my efforts in the sweeter side of
life and begin baking more earnestly...
And
I’m happy to say I have been enjoying every moment of learning thus far. Now I find myself browsing through magazines
and recipe books for baking inspiration.
I already have a long list of sweet treats I would like to try! …Now to find the time (and the budget!) to do them…
…And
should you be in the mood for creaming butter and sugar and filling your
kitchen with appetizing smells today, I have shared the lovely recipe for you below…
These
Allspice Snickerdoodles are so delightfully easy to make and would be perfect
paired with a cup of tea and a good book.
You could even have the younger children help you make them!

Snickerdoodles
125g butter
200g castor
sugar
1 egg, beaten
½ tsp vanilla

250g all-purpose
flour
1 tsp cream of
tartar
½ tsp
bicarbonate of soda
Pinch of salt
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp
granulated sugar
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until
light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract
and stir well.
2. Sift flour, cream of tartar, bicarbonate of
soda and salt into a large bowl. Add to
butter mixture and stir well.
3. Place dough in the fridge for 20 minutes.
4. Remove from the fridge and roll dough into 48
small balls.
5. Combine spices with granulated sugar and roll
each ball in this mixture. Arrange on a
lined baking sheet at 5cm intervals.
Cookies will melt into shape.
6. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden
brown. When served, the biscuits should
still be soft and chewy.
Enjoy!
