Mmm Snickerdoodles

For some reason or other, I am on a cinnamon kick lately. Sometimes I like to justify certain cravings with the body's natural sense of knowing what it needs. I decided to search the health benefits of cinnamon. I mean, c'mon there has to be some, right? Indeed there are. Check out this cool link showing some of the benefits of cinnamon.

Ok, so snickerdoodles aren't the pinnacle of health but they are in a way a comfort food with their delicious aroma and taste. The craving hit me early in the evening so I hit the pantry to see what I had available. Luckily I had all the necessary ingredients on hand, which is wonderful because otherwise I would be making cinnamon toast right now instead. Not the same....really not the same lol.

I came across this snickerdoodle recipe from Martha Stewart this past Christmas and I am hooked. I have come to the conclusion that when I make a cookie gift, it's gonna be these gems.

Here is the basic idea of the recipe in photo form however for the actual recipe please visit the snickerdoodle recipe link in the above paragraph. I don't want to anger the Martha Stewart empire by printing it here for you lol. The last thing I need is to suffer the wrath of Martha *grin*

After the ingredients were sifted, creamed, combined I basically just made a little assembly line as shown. They really are that easy to make. In retrospect, I could have spaced them a tad further on the sheet but otherwise they came out delicious. I use AirBake cookie sheets, they seem to work fine for me but you could use a regular cookie sheet and a silpat if you have it. One of these days I will buy a silpat. I really really want one :) Ok after blogging about these, I can hear the tupperware of them downstairs calling my name! ~Curvy Cook
