My Mum used to make these for me and my brother when we were little. They are delicious cinnamonny biscuits which melt in the mouth. Great name too !

 

......and no, Lesley, they don't have Snickers in

 

Snickerdoodles

 

Ingredients:

250g plain flour

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

125g butter, at room temperature

100g caster sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

For coating:

2 tbsp caster sugar

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

 

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Mix together sugar and cinnamon for coating and place on a plate and set aside.

 

2. Combine all dry ingredients except for the 100g caster sugar and set aside. Cream the butter and caster sugar till pale and creamy, then beat in egg and vanilla till well combined.

 

3. Stir in dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon till you have a smooth mixture. Take a walnut sized piece of dough and roll into a ball. Roll in the cinnamon sugar coating and slightly flatten down onto a lined baking tray. Repeat with remaining dough, leaving about 5cm (2 inches) between each cookie.

 

4. Bake for 15 minutes, or till they start to go golden-brown. Remove from the oven and rest on baking tray for a minute before removing to a wire rack to cool.

Thanks Kate - and if they did have Snickers in them then I'd have to call them Marathondoodles anyway!

 

I'll make some today..........erm....tomorrow might be better as my son will be here, and Lauren and Jake....they will save me from myself!

[Egluntyne]

...and no, Lesley, they don't have Snickers in

 

My hopes have been dashed too.

[Lesley]

I'll have to devise a recipe now then? - with Snickers in......

[Egluntyne]

Yes please! I'm prepared to be a taster. All in the interests of science.

[Mrs Frugal]

Eww, I can't bear Snickers .

[chickencam]

I always hated them until I was expecting my ED then I craved them towards the end of the sickness phase must have been the protein element I was always starving and the only was not to feel sick was to eat They were still called Marathons then.

 

I like the sound of these biscuits my OH is laways trying to get me to make buscuits instead of cakes.

[mostin]

These sound lovely, I must have at try at making them. yum yum.

[The Dogmother]

Yes please! I'm prepared to be a taster. All in the interests of science.

 

 

Only if you're a faster runner then me!

 

I don't like many sweet things, but Marathon bars are delish

[BeckyBoo]

Made these earlier

Ate these earlier! Very yummy, specially still warm.

Also added some cocoa and chocolate chips to half the batch - they weren't bad either!

[Omletina Kyckling]

I now have 18, no make that 17 snickerdoodles in front of me and they seem to like me....oops, now 16....sorry, I'm going to have to go, just remembered something very important I have to do.....

[The Dogmother]

I made some at the wekend, for my hen party on Sunday - they didn't last long at all

[Mrs Frugal]

.......Kate.....what have you done?......and I thought you were my friend.....

 

I now have 18, no make that 17 snickerdoodles in front of me and they seem to like me....oops, now 16....sorry, I'm going to have to go, just remembered something very important I have to do.....

 

 

...........like bake some more . I bake them in double batches now as they disappear, especially when they are warm .

[Omletina Kyckling]

I'm sorry Kate, I don't know what you're talking about....did I bake something today?.....I can't remember....I think I'm in denial...

[Mrs Frugal]

If you haven't baked any, Snickerdoodles are really nice. Perhaps you should bake a batch .

[Omletina Kyckling]

Ooohh, what a good idea....but now I'm confused....why is the washing up bowl full of mixing bowls and why are there crumbs all over the house...but you're right I'll just make some anyway

[Mrs Frugal]

Go on, you know you want to

[mostin]

Made my first batch of these today. Now I am sat here sweating as they have to last until my friends get here this evening. I don't think I have the will power to leave them alone

[Mrs Frugal]

They are very moreish, aren't they. If your willpower doesn't hold out, you should still have time to make some more

[mostin]

I just made it and managed not to eat any more, it's a good job they weren't late though

[The Dogmother]

We only just managed to leave some for the trick or treaters!

[Lewis]

I made some of these for rehearsals, and someone said he felt like a giant with small biscuits.

 

So this week I made a HUGE one and he wasn't there!

[Mrs Frugal]

Now that's typical, isn't it .
