Espressodoodle

I have to say a steak is much more my hubbies liking then cookies, but he LOVED these. So I guess they are a keeper. This is just snickerdoodles but instead of using cinnamon sugar you use espresso sugar. Let them cool, you will taste the espresso much more. Snickerdoodles are sugar cookie dough rolled in sugar. So if you have a sugar dough recipe you love, use that. Enjoy and if you make it, let me know what you think!!

 

Espressodoodles
Makes about 2 dozen

 

2 1/2 cup flour, white or whole wheat pastry

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. baking powder

1 cup soften butter, 2 sticks

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1/3 cup espresso sugar

 

Pre-heat oven 350◦F

In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Scrap down bowl, add flour, salt and baking powder. Mix till dough comes together.

Roll dough in balls the size of a walnut and roll in espresso sugar. Set on greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart, the cookies do spread. Bake 9-12 minutes till edges start to brown and center is risen. Let cool on cookies sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to rack to cool.

These sound good! I've always liked snickerdoodles. I'm glad you've shared your recipe for the sugar, and the cookies. I'm going to try these soon!

[Junie Moon]

Oh my, this is true goodness. I'll have to give the recipe a try. I'm not sure about the expresso part since I've never even had a cup of coffee in my life--but I'm willing to try new things and learning about the taste of expresso would definitely be new for me. Thanks, Clarice, for sharing all your delicious ideas.

Hugs,

Now that's a smart twist on the sugar cookie or snickerdoodle. You never cease to amaze me Miss Clarice.
