Cinnamon Crisps Cookie Recipe

This is a new recipe that I have decided to try. I got this recipe form one of cozy mystery books. I am almost positive that it came from the Hannah Swenson series. I can't remember which one though. We have eaten a few and they are delicious. So here is the recipe.

 Here is everything you will need . I did forget to put the eggs in this picture.
2 cups melted butter (4 sticks); 2 cups brown sugar (loosely packed); 1 cup white granulated sugar; 2 beaten eggs ( just whip them up with a fork); 2 teaspoon vanilla; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon cream of tartar (critical!); 1 teaspoon salt; 4 1/4 cup white flour (not sifted);
Dough-ball rolling mixture: 1/2 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

Add the sugars together.

 Melt the butter and add to the sugars. Mix well and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

 Beat the eggs and then add them to mixture.

 Add the vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Mix well.

 Add flour in increments, mixing after each addition.

 Not a very photo but this is what it should look like.

 I transferred to another bowl and put it in the refrig. I had to finish this recipe later in the day.
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Use your hands to roll the dough into walnut-sized balls. (If dough is too sticky, chill for and hour before rolling).

 Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl to make the dough-ball rolling mixture. )Mixing it with a fork works nicely). Roll the dough balls in the mixture.

 Then place them on a greased cookie sheet.  12 to a standard sheet. Flatten the dough balls with a greased or floured spatula. I didn't do this step, but my cookies came out just fine.

 Bake for 10-15 minutes. (They should have a touch of gold around the edges). I had to bake mine for about 19 minutes because I made them a little bigger and didn't flatten out.  Cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then remove the cookies to a rack to finish cooling.

Here is what they look like. I bag them up for the boys lunches and left some for us to eat. This yields approximately 8 dozen cookies depending on the size of the cookie.

I hope you give this recipe a try. Let me know what you think. If you have a recipe you would like me try just leave me a comment below.
Until next time enjoy your day.
