Here's my snickerdoodle recipe......uses shortening and no vanilla.
SNICKERDOODLES
1 cup shortening
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp cream of tartar
½ tsp salt
2 ¾ cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
Mix all ingredients. Roll into balls (or use cookie scoop to scoop them into balls). Roll balls in a mixture of 4 Tbsp sugar and 6 tsp cinnamon.
Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Gingerbread cutouts:
Mix together in a large bowl:
7 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix together and add to flour mixture:
(This mixture will be watery with little lumps of shortening floating around. It looks wrong, but it's not!)
1-1/2 cups dark molasses
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup cold water
1/3 cup shortening
Refrigerate dough. Roll 1/4 inch thick. Cut out shapes. Bake at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes. Cool on pans 8 minutes.
Why no vanilla?
Thank you all so much...I am gonna be baking for days...4200 total cookies (what was I thinking?)
