Josh loves snickerdoodles, so I decided to make them for him, but I kicked them up a notch. I added in some cinnamon chips to a basic recipe. The chips, in my opinion, raised these cookies to a whole new level. Don't get me wrong, I like snickerdoodles, but with the added bursts of cinnamon, HALLELUJAH! These cookies are even more delightful. Make sure you under bake them a bit, they will set up. You want the edges to be crispy and the centers soft. I think I will make these for the holidays...they are CINNADOODLY GOOD!
My dad and stepmom are coming to visit from Illinois. They are arriving this afternoon! I am super excited. My dad is an amazing baker/cook so I am sure we will be having some fun in the kitchen. They will be in Utah for a whole week. Yahoo!! Well, keep having a great weekend everyone!
Cinnadoodles
Adapted from Martha Stewart's Cookies
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
About a half a bag of cinnamon chips
3 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon-more if you love it!
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. Put butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Add in cinnamon chips.
2. Stir together cinnamon and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Shape dough into round balls; roll in cinnamon sugar. Space 3 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
3. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Don't overbake. Let cool on cookie sheet for a minute or two, then transfer to a cooling rack.
hooray for cinn chips! these look freakin fantastic! :)
ReplyDeleteMaria, you have another winner here. They look really good.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea! I've never used cinnamon chips before.
ReplyDeleteI've GOT to try these buzzed about chips!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you posted this. I was just recently thinking of making Snickerdoddles and since I have never made them before I was going to start searching for a recipe on-line.
ReplyDeleteNo need for that now! Thanks for kicking them up with more cinnamon, I love it...
They do look like a great cookie to get you into the holiday spirit!
ReplyDeletePERRRRFECT cookies!!! Love those chips :0)
ReplyDeleteSuper yummy! I've never used cinnamon chips - but will need to start. What a great flavor combo!!! Have fun with your family!
ReplyDeleteOh these sound sooo good! Great idea adding the cinnamon chips!
ReplyDeleteanother must try for me... :)
ReplyDeletethe cookies look really good. i need to find the cinnamon chips somewhere - they sound great!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby loves these. Unfortunately I cannot find cinnamon chips in a store here.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a nice visit with your Dad. I do like MS recipe for Snickerdoodles, and you have really put them over the top with the Cinnamon chips. I need to go out and search for some of those suckers!
ReplyDeleteI agree snickerdoodles are just okay cookies, but I imagine adding the cinnamon chips would put them ove the top!
ReplyDeletei love cinna chips!
ReplyDeleteAw! have so much fun with your daddy! I can't find these cin chips booo!
ReplyDeleteBeing a little bit of a cinnamon addict, I fully appreciate the addition of cinnamon chips. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteHaha cinnadoodly good! =) I JUST made a batch of these (without the cinnamon chips mind you) yesterday for a friend's birthday. I always like trying new recipes so there aren't a lot of things I've made more than once or twice but this is one of them! I've never seen cinnamon chips anywhere though. =(
ReplyDeleteooooo thank you ! I am saving this recipe to try, yum!
ReplyDeleteMMM! I bet these are really good! I'll definitely have to try these. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteclearly, i don't need to tell you how much i adore these. cinnamon chips are one of the best inventions of all time (although not particularly tasty on their own...), and what could be better than adding them to a batter containing even more cinnamon? :)
ReplyDeleteoooh...sounds delicious. Never tried cinn chips before!
ReplyDeleteLove snickerdoodles - what a great way to kick them up!
ReplyDeletegrrrr.I cant find cinnamon chips anywhere..I mean come on, its not like I live in the sticks or anything?!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your cookies!

ReplyDeleteA cinnamon lover's dream!

ReplyDeleteHave a great time with your visitors. The cookies look scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteI have looked through this cookbook tons of times and never seen these. They look great, super cinnamony!
ReplyDeleteI love snickerdoodles and these look amazing. I am still trying to find cinnamon chips.
ReplyDeleteThese look cute, Maria!
ReplyDeleteMaria,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that I mentioned your Cinnadoodle cookies in my post today. I think the cinnamon chips sound great, but I didn't have any on hand at home so I'll have to try them another time!
WalMart didn't have hem, neither did the big grocery store, low and behold I found cinnamon chips at the local in town store. I really didn't think they would have them. I hope to make these in the next couple of days :)
ReplyDeleteI'm rather partial to a snickerdoodle. We don't get cinnamon chips in the UK...which might be just as well as I can see myself pouring a bagful of them straight into my mouth!!!
ReplyDeleteThese look really fantastic...
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I have never bought cinnamon chips. Are they in the regular baking aisle?
ReplyDeleteWhat a tasty looking cookie can't wait to try it with the rest of my cinn chips!
ReplyDeleteYum! I stockpile cinnamon chips whenever I see them! These look delish.
ReplyDeleteThese cookies sound SO good Maria!!
