Easy Christmas Snickerdoodles Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
• In medium bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon; set aside. In large bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. On low speed, beat in flour mixture until blended.
• In small bowl, mix green sanding sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. In another small bowl, mix red sanding sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Roll half of the balls in green sugar mixture; roll remaining balls in red sugar mixture. On cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart.
• Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In small bowl, mix red sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon; set aside. In another small bowl, mix green sugar and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon; set aside.
• In large bowl, beat sugar, shortening, butter and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
• Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls. Roll in sugar-cinnamon mixtures. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until centers are almost set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, softened butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms.
• Shape dough into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls. In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Roll balls in sugar-cinnamon mixture. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Discard any remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture after rolling balls.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 1 minute. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Decorate as desired using icings. Store cookies covered in airtight container. If decorating with icings, once icings are set, store cookies loosely covered in a single layer.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Add the butter, 1 cup of the granulated sugar, brown sugar and egg to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium speed just to combine, about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture in 2 parts and beat on low until just combined. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Form the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon dough per cookie). Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar and coat well; arrange on two baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Do not flatten the balls, as they will spread a lot in the oven.
• Bake one sheet of cookies at a time until the tops look cracked and the center still feels soft, about 9 minutes. Let the cookies cool in the pan for 3 minutes; they will continue cooking during this time. Once they've firmed up a little, transfer them to a rack to continue cooling. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F for a non-stick cookie sheet, or 400°F for any other pan.
• Cream the butter, then add sugar and mix.
• Sift the flour,salt, and baking powder into the mixture, add egg and mix well.
• In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
• If you find your dough is a bit too sticky, throw it in the freezer for roughly 15 minutes or until firm enough to handle.
• Shape the dough into walnut size balls and roll in topping mixture.
• Place about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes (8 is usually enough, so keep an eye out).
