Snickerdoodles

I was going to take a picture of these delicious cookies but I left the kitchen for a few too many minutes and my husband gobbled them up. That's how good they are. Leave off the cinnamon and they are a wonderful sugar cookie. Step aside Otis Spunkmeyer!



Gammy's Snickerdoodles
1 c. butter
1 ½ c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 ½ c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
⅛ tsp. salt

Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt and mix well. Roll into 1 inch balls and roll around in sugar & cinnamon mix (4 tsp. cinnamon, 4 Tbsp. sugar). Place on greased baking sheet or parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 350ยบ for 6-8 minutes.
Gammy says, "You may need to add a little more flour. The uncooked balls need to hold together. The consistency of dough has to be just right. Too little flour will make them sloppy, too much and they'll be dry and heavy."
I love that Gammy! She's the best!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Best Big, Fat,
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie
(No, I did not name it)

2 c. flour
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
¾ c. unsalted butter, melted
1 c. packed brown sugar
½ c. white sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper. (Parchment paper makes a better cookie.)

2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough ¼ cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.

4. Bake for 15-17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
