Imagine biting into a warm, soft, baked cookie with a slightly crisp edge. The inviting heavenly aroma filled with pleasant hints of cinnamon and sugar blended with buttery goodness from the kitchen. The sweetness of the cookie mixes perfectly with the rich, comforting flavor of cinnamon. The flavors and feelings that are received from every bite of the cookie are the magic of snickerdoodles. With the Snickerdoodle’s unique chewy texture and delightful cinnamon and sugar coating, these cookies offer a taste experience that leaves anyone delighted.
The history of Snickerdoodles dates back to the 19th century. Snickerdoodle is believed to have originated from New England. Yet, some historians traced their origins to German cookies known as “Schnecken,” meaning “snail,” because of the Snickerdoodle’s rolling technique. Culinary historians think the name “Snickerdoodle” is an American twist on the original German cookie.
Snickerdoodles aren’t just typical sugar cookies. What truly sets them apart from other cookies is their unique flavor combination. Snickerdoodles contain a cream cheese glaze icing that gives the flavor its extraordinary tang, giving the Snickerdoodle sweetness and a delightful chewiness topped with a warm wave of cinnamon the second the Snickerdoodle is bitten into.
Snickerdoodle preparation is perfect for anyone of any culinary skill level. Snickerdoodle cookies are incredibly easy to recreate and only require just a few basic ingredients and simple steps.
To make Snickerdoodle cookies, start with a plate with cinnamon powder and prepare a bowl with a whisk. Using the wet ingredients, mix together one cup of butter, one cup of brown sugar and half a cup of white sugar until thoroughly mixed. After being mixed, add two eggs and one teaspoon of vanilla, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together three and a half cups of flour, one tablespoon of cornstarch, one teaspoon of baking soda and half a teaspoon of salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
To prepare cinnamon-covered cookies, start by grabbing the appropriate amount of cookie dough and rolling it into a ball. Next, roll the dough ball in the cinnamon powder until fully coated. Place each cinnamon-covered dough ball on a sheet of parchment paper, gently pressing down on each one to create an even thickness. Arrange the dough balls with sufficient space between them. Finally, bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for nine to 11 minutes.
For the iconic icing, mix together half of a cup of room-temperature butter and eight ounces of room-temperature cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add and mix in two and a half cups of powdered sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract until creamy. Once the cookies have cooled, generously top the Snickerdoodles with the cream cheese mixture and enjoy a home-baked treat.
