Uncultured British type here: What do these taste like? Are they made with Snickers bars?

I hate snickerdoodles. They are everywhere. You go to Whole Foods and it's all snickerdoodles. How about a nice peanut butter chocolate chip ? All right. Sorry OP. I "Liked." Good baking. And photography.

...but they're just snickerdoodles, they just took care to make sure that they are completely covered in cinnamon sugar to look good in the photo.

The inside looks like every snickerdoodle I've ever had.

This is the recipe OP was replying with previously.

INGREDIENTS
1½ cups/180 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
10 tablespoons/140 grams unsalted butter (1¼ sticks), at room temperature
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

PREPARATION

  1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.

  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the butter and ¾ cup sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary. Beat in the egg until creamy, and then add the vanilla, again scraping down the sides. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low until just combined.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon. Roll the dough into golf-ball-size balls, then roll each one in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

  4. Transfer the dough to parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart. Bake the cookies until just set and dry in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake. Transfer each sheet to a rack to cool for a few minutes, then transfer the cookies to racks to cool completely.

I'd like to try a snickerdoodle and enjoy it for once. I like cinnamon and sugar well enough but it seems like everytime I try one it's either hard or super dry.

Not as superior as acquiring the infamous Cinnabon cinnamon to make Snickerdoodle. I would die on THAT hill just to attain the luscious spice that rules my life. I must attain the spice.

The texture is really what makes these different than sugar cookies. They are light and chewy at the same time. There are no nuts in them but there is almost a nutty flavor to them. And of course they taste of the cinnamon and sugar mixture the dough is rolled in before baking.

Not OP but bon appetit's "BA's best snickerdoodles" is a fantastic recipe. Soft and fluffy. It's never failed me

Edit: they do call for vanilla beans though which I never have so I sub for vanilla extract. Comes out great.

Is that a snicker doodle? I thought Snickerdoodles had Snickers bars in them.

Wait, then what do you call if when you wrap a snickers bar in filo and deep fry it?

Not OP but I’ve used Martha Stewart’s recipe and the one from bakefromscratch.com and had success with both. One has shortening and butter while the other is all butter and regardless which one I make they barely last 36 hours.

Chocolate chip cookies utilize both a combo of white and brown sugars, where sugar cookies will typically only utilize white sugar 🥰 Snickerdoodles are a white sugar base with a little bit of cream of tartar for a tartness to it. Super yummy!

Anything with "baking powder" technically has cream of tartar in it. Baking powder is a 1:2 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar.

Edit: this isn't always true apparently. Baking Powder is an acid and a base. One of the acids commonly used is Cream of Tartar but others are used too. My Great Value baking powder uses Monocalcium phosphate for the acid.

Snickerdoodles are fantastic and supreme in the soft comforting cookie category, but they're a little too simple to be the best all-arounder.

Y'all need to try chunky chocolate raisin walnut oatmeal cookies. Head and shoulders above all others.

FYI to anyone who has all the ingredients except cream of tartar, you can substitute with twice the amount of lemon juice instead. Actually my preferred method now.

The trick with snickerdoodles - get the dough cold and keep it cold between batches.

The college I went to had the best oatmeal raisin cookies, they were the size of you hand held open with the fingers out, and were a meal in themselves. Often one of those with coffee were the best breakfast while studying in the building where that food kiosk was. Been a fan of that cookie ever since!

Cookies are my weakness. Idgaf what kind of cookie it is. But snickerdoodles will always reign supreme in my eyes. They hold a special place in my heart no other cookie can. My grandma was a cafeteria worker in the 90s when I was growing up and she would always bring home snickerdoodles for all the grandkids when we were at her house. Maybe that's why I love them so much.

In case you aren’t joking, no. Cream of tarter is an acid that you can add to baked goods that don’t have any other acids in them to react with the baking soda and give you some rise in your dough. Of course you can also just use baking powder which already contains an acid for the reaction.

There’s a lot of egg substitute’s I’ve used unsweetened applesauce in a few of my recipes and I couldn’t tell a difference. You can look it up on Google but I use egg replacer mix and I find it to work very well.
