On Sunday my family asked me to make some cookies. The only thing is I didn't have the ingredients of the cookies that I normally make. I usually make plain chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin cookies, or oatmeal raisin cookies; but I was out of chocolate chips, pumpkin, and oatmeal. So I went searching on the internet and found a snicker doodle recipe that would work. This original recipe was found here from our best bites, but I had to change it a little because I didn't have all the ingredients.
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups sugar, divided
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter(not margarine) at room temp
8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) coconut oil
2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. line baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon in a shallow dish and set aside. Whisk flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt together in medium bowl. Beat butter, remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, and coconut oil together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated, scraping down bowl if needed.
With the mixer on low slowly add flour until combined, about 30 seconds. Give dough final stir to ensure that no flour pockets remain.
Roll the dough I nto balls, then roll them around in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat and set on prepared baking sheet spaced 2 inches apart.
Bake 1 sheet at a time until edges of cookies are set and just barely beginning to brown, but centers are still soft and puffy, about 10-12 minutes. The cookies should look raw between the cracks and seem underdone. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature. Makes about 2 dozen 3-4 inch cookies.
