CINNAMON CRISPS COOKIES [SNICKERDOODLES]



Cinnamon Crisps Cookies [snickerdoodles] image

This is a European version of the snickerdoodle. This cookie has the softest dough and makes a bakery-style cookie that will impress you. (Recipe from Chef Express: Home Baking translated cookbook) Tip: You can make caster sugar by putting granulated sugar in your blender and pulse for about 1-2 minutes. The sugar should be reduced to half. It doesn't take long.. be careful not to turn it into sugar powder. However, most supermarkets do carry 10X sugar aka SuperFine sugar.

CINNAMON CRISP COOKIES



Cinnamon Crisp Cookies image

Light, thin, crisp cookies, with oatmeal, pecan & cinnamon. Not at all like your average oatmeal cookie. This is Mom's recipe. They are fragile & don't keep more than a week, so I halved the recipe, making some of the measurements a little odd/picky. I like to press them with a glass, you want to get them thin, they do not spread/thin-out very much in baking. Mike's favorite cookie.

Provided by Shira Bocar

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 45m

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter with both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture. Beat until combined.
  • Scoop dough using a 1 1/2-inch scoop (about 1 1/2-tablespoons); transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Flatten cookies slightly with a spatula. Sprinkle tops with sanding sugar, then lightly brush with a wet pastry brush and sprinkle with more sanding sugar.
  • Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are just beginning to brown at edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on sheets, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon is considered to be the best type of cinnamon for baking, as it has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than other types of cinnamon.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Freshly ground cinnamon will have a more intense flavor than pre-ground cinnamon. If you can, grind your own cinnamon sticks just before using them.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them crisp up on the outside while staying soft and chewy on the inside.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon crisp cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your cookies turn out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cinnamon crisp cookies a try!
