Snickerdoodles

Author Notes

While you happen to relate chewy I insist Snickerdoodles. I cannot insist I invented this recipe, however I maintain made a couple of changes since my mother despatched me the recipe she aged and I grew up piquant. Shortening (organic without a transfats :)) blended with butter prevents the cookies from spreading too thin, yielding a chewy and comfortable heart. Develop not overbake, or they are going to not pass the chewy-test. —TasteFood

The dough is rather crumbly, so you would possibly possibly well well in fact must smoosh the dough balls collectively. Irrespective of the unconventional texture, they advance out correct take care of a upright snickerdoodle need to gathered: chewy-cakey and fragrant with cinnamon, with most productive a couple of misplaced to outrageous cracking. They otherwise preserve a nice form from the exiguous quantity of shortening and corpulent teaspoon of baking powder.
