This month’s MSC pick was a take on the ever popular Snickerdoodle cookie. I made 1/4 recipe and ended up with 7 nice sized cuppies.
And they were very snickerdoodley (is that a word?). Instead of the 7 minute icing I used a simple buttercream. I just wasn’t feeling the love the the 7 minute this time. And to make a small amount it was an awful lot of work since you cannot store it well.
Anyway. It was just fine sprinkled with the cinnamon.
This is the first time a scratch cuppy has really worked out. It is because I finally figured out just how ‘off’ my oven was. Now I will have fewer fails – I hope!!
I kept the cinnamon at 1/2 the amount and I think that is what kept it snickerdoodley. But then I also like lots of cinnamon or other spices in my fallish cuppys.
Thanks to Katie of Katie’s Kitchen for this Fall pick. Tasty.

This looks sooooo good! I ALWAYS add more cinnamon than started in recipe: love it! Will probably bake these tomorrow for my dad’s birthday on Sunday. What’s your go-to recipe for buttercream?

Nice job with these Margaret – they look so yummy! It was fun to bake together, I feel like we don’t get to do it as often lately. Oh, and hooray for figuring out that your oven was off, that’ll absolutely make a big difference in your baking 🙂

Those look great…and even greater on that pretty plate. It was fun baking these with you…mine look like the ugly stepsisters to your Cinderella!

Oh dear. I made Southeast Asian soup. Does that count? Count another “behind the eight ball” project that I need to do. Margaret – these look lovely! Hey – take a look at the 3 (count them 3) thermometers I have hanging from my oven interior! 🙂
