Fluffy snickerdoodle cookies Recipe, makes 5-6 big cookies 1 1/3 cups (160g) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (100g) butter-flavored shortening (soft real butter is fine too, or use half of each) 1/4 cup (50g) and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, plus more for dusting 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon cream of tartar (plus a little shake for the egg) 1/4 teaspoon baking soda cinnamon for dusting salt (I used 1/2 teaspoon of Morton kosher) Separate the egg and put the white in a mixing bowl along with a little shake of cream of tartar (NOT the full teaspoon yet. Beat the white to soft peaks. Put in the 1/4 cup sugar and beat again the foam may deflate a bit, but if you keep whipping you should get soft peaks again. Set this meringue aside. In a different mixing bowl, whip the shortening with the 1/2 cup sugar until very fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk, vanilla, teaspoon of cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and flour. Roll the dough into 5-6 big balls. Prepare the coating by mixing about one part cinnamon to two parts sugar. Roll each ball around in the coating, and then set them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Slightly flatten each ball into a thick puck. Bake at 400 F/200 C (convection, ideally) for 3-4 minutes, then back the heat down to 350 F/180 C until the cookies are done. (They bake almost as well if you do 375 F/190 C the whole time) Be careful not to overbake these or they will be hard when cooled. Wait until they start to spread and crack, and watch the raw dough exposed by the crack when it just barely doesn't look wet anymore, that's a good sign they're done. Mine took 12 minutes. Let them cool!

I'm a hobbyist baker and snickerdoodles are like, my specialty. For the most part, your recipe is different enough from mine that I don't feel the need to say I'd do X instead, but one pointer I'd offer is that, when rolling them in the cinnamon sugar, once you've got it fully coated, grab a big pinch of your cinnamon sugar, drop it on top, and lightly shake off excess without rolling it at all. It's basically no extra effort, but it gives you a bit more cinnamon sugar than would normally stick on naturally, and they look prettier.
And if you do decide to do this, make sure to very lightly press the balls onto the baking sheet when putting them down, to make sure they don't end up with the heavy side down, or they don't drop all that extra cinnamon sugar onto the baking sheet.

Yeah, I wanted to ask about the name, so a big extra plus for your remark at the end! But I also wanna ask about Meringue: what is it, what does the name signify, where does it come from?
Another, rather unrelated question (at least to the previous): How long between the visit to the bakery and the video? And in how far do you use research for that - do you also go and look up (in this case snickerdoodle cookies) recipes or is it actual reverse engineering by taste, possibly in combination with knowledge/experience?

I must confess I m not sure about these bakery style snickerdoodles. Part of the joy of homemade snickerdoodles is that they have their own unique texture. Its short shelf life means that it s something you ll never get from a commercially made cookie. I like the collapsed, non fluffy snickerdoodle of my childhood! One trick I learned is that you can freeze the balls of cinnamon sugar coated dough and bake them up in smaller batches. That way you can bake only enough to eat while they are still naturally soft.

Snickerdoodles are such an underrated cookie! I'm curious to compare this to my favorite Smitten Kitchen version, though I'd probably go smaller on the cookies since I kind of adore tiny snickerdoodles. It'd be a good comparison - for science of course!
reply

i made a snickerdoodle recipe that used both baking soda and baking powder and they were extremely soft and fluffy even after sitting out for a couple days. i might combine these two methods to make the best snickerdoodles

I am selling cookies for a fundraising effort so I need to make them extra. Is adding a Hershey s kiss to the center with some nonpareils sacrilege? Will the cookie police summons me or jail me? Is this a felony or misdemeanor?
reply

Hey Adam, this video reminds me, any way you can replicate the butter you find in restaurants? Like the cinnamon butter from Texas Roadhouse. Or the whipped butter from Outback Steakhouse with their brown bread
reply

Could you make a cookie using pre made frosting instead of butter and sugar? An idea that sprung when he mentioned how when you're beating the butter and sugar it basically already is butter cream.
reply

I love the extra facts you give. It s always so interesting. Cream of tartar, the potassium salt of tartaric acid, it crystallises out of grape juice and onto the sides of wine barrels.
reply

In countries where it s a challenge to find cream of tartar, you can use lemon juice instead, just experiment with it to balance out the liquid content
reply

How do you get so much sugar to stick to the outside? No matter how much I roll the dough in it, I only get a really thin layer that's barely noticeable.
reply

Uhm actually cream of tartar produces bitartrate in solution rather than tartaric acid, so that's what the baking soda would be neutralizing

5: 03 Except ceylon is actually milder than cassia. I wouldn't ever as much as use it as a substitute, it's a completely different flavour.

The Oh yeah, Lauren's cooking this time line sounded so incredibly disappointed, as if you were saying let's hope she doesn't f it up again
reply

I definitely knew picking up some cream of tartar from that Publix Spice Islands BOGO deal several months back would pay off someday. Maybe.
reply

5: 01 Just roll your balls in there and them very well coated Adam is just giving away free ytp content at this point lol
reply

Im gonna be honest i thought snickerdoodles were some made up food from a cartoon but they are an actual cookie and i feel dumb.
reply

I thought snickerdoodle was just a nonsense word wich kinda sounds like a food's name. I didn't know it was an actual cookie.
reply

If you're looking for incredible cookies to recreate, come to Pittsburgh and go to Nancy Bs! Also experience fries on salad!

Snickerdoodle sounds like yet another designer breed of dog. Do they give you a free pimp hat with every poodle nowadays?
