I once had a roommate who would always say that no man could resist a woman making snickerdoodles. Since I have so many men (ok, mostly future men) around here I thought we should try a new snickerdoodle recipe today. I usually prefer a flat and chewy snickerdoodle but these turned out pretty scrumptious even though they were a little more cakey and less chewy. The almond flavor was really the best part of these - yum!
INGREDIENTS
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons brown sugar
DIRECTIONS
Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt, set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the eggs, milk, vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until fully incorporated. Cover bowl and chill for 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a shallow bowl or saucer, stir together the remaining brown sugar, white sugar and cinnamon. Roll the chilled dough into 1 inch balls, then roll the balls in the sugar mixture. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for about 8 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies begin to brown at the edges. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.

Mmmmm...that picture is making my mouth water. Can't wait to try them!
Kimberly, if you want to include a picture with your recipe all you have to do is have the picture you want to add saved to your computer and when you're posting the recipe click on the button to insert image or picture. It'll take you to a screen where you can decide which picture to add and where you want it situated on the post. Choose upload image and it'll appear on your create post screen. Sorry if this is confusing...Just try it...it's pretty user friendly.
