Now I`m just a novice in the kitchen. And when I say novice, I`m being nice. I don`t ever REALLY know what I`m doing, just mix things together, see what happens. It`s like an experiment.
This is why I like baking/cooking. It’s like an art and a science in one. So when I went to bake these cookies, I didn’t know whether I should make them on parchment paper, or on a straight on a baking sheet. (Actually, this is what goes through my head every time I make cookies)
So this was my first time making snickerdoodles. I’ve never heard of them before, but making them was very fun. And it also made a LOT of cookies. Which made me a LOT of happy.
-1 cup sugar
-1/2 cup butter, melted
-1 egg, room temperature
-1 egg yolk, room temperature
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1/3 cup sour cream
-1 cup all purpose flour
-1 cup whole wheat flour
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-1/4 cup sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup of sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla and sour cream until fully combined.
3. In a medium bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4. Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
5. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon with 1/4 cup of sugar
6. Form little balls with the batter and dip the tops into the cinnamon sugar. Place on a lightly sprayed baking sheet (or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper)
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Yum!! I love snickerdoodles, but I haven't tried a whole wheat version yet. These look great!
I love snickerdookles…but have never made them! Love your whole wheat version! They look wonderful! Lovely photos!! Thanks for the visit…glad to meet you!!
Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookies. Wish I could have one right now…
Lovely clicks. Looks absolutely delicious!
Snicker-doodles look delicious! Nice research on the parchment paper and the cookie sheet! 🙂
Love the snickerdoodles, doesn't look like the work of a novice, i have the same feeling when i work on my experiments..Happy Baking n cooking..
Great healthy twist on these snickerdoodles!
Aren't they just yummy!
i love your experiment… i have never used parchment paper until a couple of months ago. i love it, but don't use it that often. i always prefer just greasing the bottom of pans with butter. it always works for me. i agree with the amazing no nead for clean-up thing with parchment paper, and also, it's reusable! 🙂
p.s. love the use of whole wheat!
i laughed when you said that you dont know what you were doing sometimes…i share the same experience too sometimes..just blurr and dreaming!!LOL!
recipe sounds healthy and perfect. nice one
