This post is a bit late, so forgive me.
This is Jenny:
She is a lovely housemate of mine and the reason that my house looks and smells delightful. When I asked what type of cookies I should make not too long ago, she quickly quipped "Snickerdoodles." I like Jenny. She's fun, easy to talk with, has my back, and will eat what I make, so I could think of no better person to inaugurate this new era of blogging with then Jenny. She is still in school, but working a lot this summer. Jenny has a subtle selflessness about her that I do not think she gets enough credit for, and a livelihood to boot. I have already had many god conversations with her.
Unfortunately, we did not have any cinnamon, but a trip to Costco for the huge cinnamon fixed that, and I got to work. I checked my archives and
dusted off my old snickerdoodle recipe. I did not have cream of tartar so I substituted that and the BS for baking powder. I also did not have nutmeg (and still do not), so I painfully omitted it. I also used all butter instead of shortening, and brown sugar instead of white. I have a brown sugar obsession. I combined the dry stuff and the wet stuff, and mixed it together:
. Of course, part of the fun of making Snickerdoodles is rolling them in the cinnamon sugar mixture
, so I got Jenny and my friend Troy to help me with that part. We rolled them and set them on a buttered cookie sheet:
. Pop into the oven, 400 for ten minutes, and they slide right out. Now, we made a couple batches of these because they are simply heavenly, and even then they went super quick.
. Not only did Jenny have several, but our other housemates and guests had several as well, and everyone loved them. I tell you, these things went fast.
I am telling you, these cookies are delicious, and I have tried them unaltered, and they are very good as well. Also, I am very excited to be living with Jenny this year. She recently drove a friend and me back from the bay over July fourth weekend.
.
Anyways, good Luck and good Eats.
