You'll be astonished at how fast these chewy Snickerdoodles go when you put 'em out for your whole gang to eat! They taste just like your childhood-favorite version, but use lighter ingredients to make 'em low-carb and low-fat!
What You'll Need
- 1 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour (we like to use King Arthur brand)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3 tablespoon fat-free milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup sugar and the butter; beat with a mixer until well blended. Add the milk, vanilla, and egg; beat well. Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, beating just until combined. Cover and chill 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine remaining sugar with the cinnamon.
- Shape dough into 42 1-inch balls, then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated. Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets and slightly flatten with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake 5 to 7 minutes. (Cookies will be slightly soft.) Cool on baking sheets 2 minutes, then remove and cool completely on wire racks.
Notes
- Did you know? Snickerdoodles are from Germany - its name means "snail dumpling' in German. It's a funny name for a tasty treat!
