Method
-
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C. - Cream Butter and Shortening:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, vegetable shortening, and 300g of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. - Add Eggs:
Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. - Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. - Chill Dough:
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps in easier handling. - Prep Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar with the ground cinnamon. - Shape Dough:
Shape the chilled dough into small balls ,then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Push gently to form a cookie shape. - Bake:
Place the coated cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. - Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro Tips- Chill for Success: Don’t skip chilling the dough; it enhances the cookies’ texture and makes handling easier.
- Uniformity Matters: Keep the dough balls similar in size for even baking.
- Gentle Handling: When rolling in cinnamon sugar, handle the dough with care to maintain the round shape.
- Soft Centres Rule: Bake until the edges set but the centers remain soft for that perfect snickerdoodle chewiness.
