Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g unsalted butter, softened
150g caster sugar
50g light brown soft sugar
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
300g plain flour
1½ tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Beat the butter and both sugars in a large bowl using an electric whisk for 2 mins until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla and beat until combined, scraping down the sides once. Add the flour, cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda and ¼ tsp salt, and mix until just combined. Stir in the milk to loosen the mixture.
  • For the topping, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll 40g of the dough into a ball. Roll the dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then place it on the prepared tray and press it down lightly. Repeat with the remaining dough and topping, spacing the balls about 5cm apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 mins until golden and puffed up. Leave to cool on the tray for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight tin for up to four days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Look for organic, unbleached flour, pure cane sugar, and real butter.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

Healthy snickerdoodles are a delicious and nutritious snack or dessert. They are made with whole wheat flour, oats, and honey, which provide fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. They are also low in sugar and fat, making them a healthier choice than traditional snickerdoodles. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a sweet treat, these healthy snickerdoodles are a great option.
