Snickerdoodles

The Snickerdoodles are cinnamon biscuits really soft and delicious. If you do some research you'll find different ways to prepare them, flat or round (the ones I prepared). That depends on your taste.

As you can see below, the preparation is very easy and quick. I've prepared the original version but you can add them a bit of honey, chocolate, orange, etc. Other day I'll post the chocolate version, you'll have to wait a little bit!!!

So, here it goes, photo and recipe.

Ingredients (around 75 biscuits):

• 280 grams all purpose Flour
• 125 grams Batter, room temperature
• 80 grams Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 pinch Salt

Coating:

• 4 teaspoons Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon

Preparation:

1. In one bowl add the flour, salt and nutmeg and whisk them together. Reserve.
2. In a different bowl beat the butterand sugar until you have a creamy mixture.
3. Add the vanilla extract and the egg and beat well.
4. Add the flour mixture slowly and beat until you have a smooth dough. You will need to knead the dough by hand when all the flour mixture is added. Knead until the dough is soft and separates from the sides of the bowl perfectly.
5. Pre heat the oven to 200º C.
6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. For the coating: In a large shallow bowl mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
8. Take small pieces of dough and form small round balls of around 2,5 centimeters.
9. Roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 centimeters between them.
10. Bake the biscuits for about 10-13 minutes, or until their surface start to be cracked.
11. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

These biscuits can last about one week if stored in an airtight container, at room temperature, if you don't eat all of them at once.
