Last snow pic of 2009There's an old adage: Begin as you expect to continue. So I'm beginning with writing.
And a recipe for Snickerdoodles:) Just for fun.
1 cup softened shortening of your choice (butter, margarine, Crisco)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
2 3/4 cup white flour
Cream together the sugar and shortening then add the eggs and mix well, until somewhat fluffy. Mix the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, nutmeg and salt together and then add to the sugar, etc. Roll into walnut sized balls. Roll balls in mixture of 1/4 cup cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar. Place unflattened onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes until flat and slightly brown.
This makes a lot of chewy cookies, but that's never a problem.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yummm. I'm going to make these today or tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteI have never had a Snickerdoodle. Let me try to get the Queen involved in this little project. I'll tell her you made me do it.
Happy trails.
Never heard of snickerdoodles, but I'm a'gonna try 'em! Have a blessings-filled year.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, Carol! And remember you can't eat just one!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Swu, you and Dave shock me! Never had a snickerdoodle? And if your Queen makes these, she can also blame me for the weight gain.
ReplyDeleteDave, you've never heard of snickerdoodles?! Good heavens! You're in for a treat (although perhaps they go by another name in England...).
ReplyDeleteGet thee back from me, you Snikerdoodle demon! You're trying to tempt me when I still have Christmas cookies in the freezer. Oh, okay, I'll copy the recipe for later. This evening.

ReplyDeleteThanks Anonymous for your kind comments.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I've never heard of "Snickerdoodles" before, but it looks like a nice recipe that I might have to try.
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing a very Happy New Year. I hope 2010 brings much happiness to you.
Beware, those who have and those who have not tried Snickerdoodles.
ReplyDeleteConda's are great, and addictive. Get thee away from me!
Okay, thanks for the recipe.
And I'm going to start as I intend to continue...smiling and savoring.
I'm back again. That picture still looks cold. We may get down to 20 degrees one night this week. I've live in central TX most of my life and I can't remember it getting that cold. Wowsers! No snow though.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, hmm, you and Dave, the cookies must have another name in Great Britain?
ReplyDeleteKathy, oh you writer you! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHello again, Helen. Twenty degrees?! It rarely gets that cold here!
