What's with the funny name and how to make one of the most popular cookies in the US.

SNICKERDOODLES

In a bowl mix the flour, salt and baking powder and set aside.

5 1/2 cups of flour-pastry or all purpose

1 tsp of salt

1 Tablespoon + 1 tsp of baking powder

In the bowl of your electric mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until smooth about 5 minutes.

2 cups of butter softened

3 cups of white sugar

4 eggs add one at a time beating after each egg is added.

2 tsp of pure vanilla, beat it in.  Then add in the flour mixture until you have a smooth dough.  Round into dough balls and then roll in the below mixture.

Coating:

1 cup of white sugar

2 Tablespoons of ground cinnamon

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 for smaller sized cookies and 15-20 minutes for larger sized cookies.  Should take out when the cookies are slightly golden around the edges.  Keep in mind, the cookies continue to bake for a couple of minutes while cooling on the pan.  Thus, take them out of the oven before you think they are finished baking.

Thank you for listening and Happy Baking! Sheila
