Delicious Almond Snickerdoodle Cookies

Saturday we hosted our hopefully-annual cookie exchange (we did one a couple years ago and would love to make it a yearly event). I had a few different ideas for what I was going to make, but finally decided on Friday to make some Almond Snickerdoodles. The ironic thing is that I don’t eat nuts, but really enjoy almond flavor (I think it is the texture of nuts that get to me).

Author:
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 36
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter (I used dairy-free butter so that Brad could eat them)
  • 4/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 T Almond Extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

    Topping
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 and grease two cookie sheets (or use a handy dandy silicon mat)
  2. In a large mixing bowl (I used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer), cream together the butter and sugar until nice and smooth.
  3. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and almond
  4. Slowly mix in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. I did about 1 cup of flour at a time.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping
  6. Roll about 2 Tablespoons of dough into a nice ball then roll in the topping. Place the dough roughly 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges start to turn brown. I have a convection oven so my baking time is a bit faster.
  8. Let cool on a wire rack

Almond Snickerdoodle Cookie RecipeThe cookie exchange party was so much fun, it is always great to get together with friends and there were some absolutely delicious cookies offered for the exchange. I also made a batch of my Peppermint Marshmallows which were a hit.

Almond Snickerdoodle Cookie RecipeOne reason that I love to make snickerdoodles is because they are super easy, and they can also be slightly changed to make a flavor variation (such as my peppermint snickerdoodles from a couple years ago).

Are you a fan of snickerdoodles? What flavor would you make?
