SNICKERDOODLES EASY RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar and the eggs and mix thoroughly with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, and stir into the shortening mixture.
• In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon.
• Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (1 tablespoon per ball), and roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar. Arrange the dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake two sheets at a time until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still soft, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Transfer the cookies to wire racks for cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
• Add molasses and egg and mix until smooth. 
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. 
• Dump this dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. 
• Add water very carefully and mix until smooth. Don't burn yourself!
• Pour batter in a greased and floured square pan (Dimensions 9x9). 
• Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean. 
• Allow it to cool down. Then, cut square slices.
• Top off each piece with a swirl of cream cheese frosting or whipped cream and enjoy!
