Description

The classic snickerdoodle cookie with a masala chai twist! Subtle but perfect with some coffee. Warning: HIGHLY addictive.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SPICE MIXTURE:
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • ⅛ teaspoons Ground Cardamom
  • ¼ cups Granulated Sugar
  • _____
  • FOR THE COOKIES:
  • 1-½ cup Sugar
  • ½ cups Butter
  • ¼ cups Canola Oil
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 2-¾ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt

Preparation

Mix the spice mixture ingredients separately in a dry bowl. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F).

For the cookies, cream the sugar and the butter in a bowl till fluffy. Add the oil and the eggs one at a time. Slowly add in the dry ingredients (minus the spice mixture) and let it form into a dough. Make balls of dough and roll each in the spice mixture before placing it on a baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes and cool before removing.

PS. I didn’t have cream of tartar once, and instead used baking powder to replace the baking soda and the tartar, and it tasted fine.

PPS. I also would recommend just making the whole dough in one go, you can always freeze the dough and pull it out anytime you like. A reviewer wrote that the cookie was bland and I’m not sure why! It’s subtle but you should still taste the flavors!

These are perfect, I didn’t think they were bland at all. Perfect texture, flavor, etc. Thank you!

FYI, snickerdoodles without cream of tartar is madness :)

I made these cookies tonight with a couple changes – I didn’t have cream of tartar so I just added some extra baking soda and hoped for the best. I also made half the recipe, which still produced 20 cookies. The texture was ok but they tasted a bit bland – maybe I didn’t use enough of the spices? I also guessed that 350 degrees would be suitable for baking these; I might have missed it in the recipe, but I didn’t see an oven temperature.
