There are a handful of things that I do not use in my cooking/baking.
Shortening is at the top of that list. Grosses me out.
Pretty much all of the snickerdoodle recipes I have seen have shortening in them, so I was really excited to find this one in Rachael Ray. I'll use real butter all day long. Three cheers for butter!!!
2 cubes real butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon |
*Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Roll into golfball-size balls and then roll in a sugar/cinnamon mixture (1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon). Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 375 for 10-12 minutes, until edges are slightly brown.
How much is a cube of butter?
