Also known as the poor man's cookie, every family should have a homemade snickerdoodle recipe. The secret to this recipe is the nutmeg
Author:
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 1 dozen
Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 cup of Michigan sugar (white)
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ cup of Milk
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • additional sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Cream the butter until fluffy; gradually beat in the sugar. Beat in the egg and stir in the milk.
  2. Add your flour, baking powder, and nutmeg to the creamed butter mixture and beat until fluffy.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and place your cookie dough in the fridge to chill. This will help create a fluffy/pillowy cookie.
  4. Meanwhile, create a cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg mixture for sprinkling. This is where you can experiment with family taste. I usually do ½ cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and ½ teaspoon of nutmeg.
  5. Drop cookie dough onto a pan and sprinkle the cookies with the cinnamon/sugar/nutmeg mixture.
  6. Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes until cookies are slightly browned on top.
