Spicy Snickerdoodle Cookies
I don't think this is like most other snickerdoodle recipes - in fact, i'd say they're more of a molasses or spice cookie. either way, they are really good, and really chewy for those who like that kind of cookie. the cornmeal gives them a really interesting texture that i like a lot. the recipe says it makes 70 cookies, but either i made them too big or i ate more dough than i thought because i only got 56! this is from a 2003 woman's day magazine.
Steps
Preheat oven to 350f.
Beat butter , 3 / 4 cup of sugar , all of the brown sugar , cornmeal , molasses , spices , baking soda , and salt in a large bowl on medium speed for 3 minutes or until fluffy.
Beat in eggs and vanilla until well blended.
Gradually add in flour while mixing on low speed.
Mix until well-blended.
Place the remaining white sugar in a small bowl.
Form balls of dough measuring 1 inch in diameter , roll in the sugar , and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.
Cool on cookie sheets for about 2 minutes before moving them to wire racks to finish cooling.
