You're on a roll, now.

Actually, it looks a little gross this close up

!
And I think the answer to Case's question is 6 ...

They look extra good that close up. I wants some!

Did you use my recipe?

I want to go make more, now. But I have already forgotten what it feels like to eat too many.

Oh Case, I chickened out of all that translating cups into weights thang that we have to do so I used a recipe I found in a book I have. It had vanilla instead of cinnamon in the biscuit dough, and I rolled the balls (tee hee I said balls

) in cinnamon and sugar. I want to try your recipe next as these weren't cinnamony enough for me but I must translate it first (Monster? SG (I think SG has cups ...?)). Halp, anyone?

Sorry darlin' I've stayed out of food threads for a while, so I was unaware of this call for my assistance.

Yoiu know what you've done now though don't you?
You've made me think I need to make these darned things in order to give you the correct weights and measurements.

Hold on until the weekend. I will give you a Brit-friendly Case recipe. And photos of my own Snickerdoodles. I might even try a game of Chubby Bunnies. Then I can give a definitive answer to the question implied in the thread title.

Oh, if you hear from Mons first do let me know. I'd hate to make fattening snacks without having the excuse of helping a Dwellar out...

kerosene · 04-18-2010, 03:16 PM

I don't think I shared this when I made them...they look a lot like yours, limey.

Sundae · 04-19-2010, 04:46 PM

I think I got the quantities and/ or the cooking time/ temp wrong.
Mine were really big, really crumbly and the recipe made about 2000. Seriusly, it was like the Sorceror's Apprentice in my kitchen. I was cooking them in batches and there was no room in the oven, on the baking tray, on the cooling tray and there was still more dough!

Can't say I was keen. I ate about 5 over the course of a couple of days. Which was about 1% of what I made. I gae the rest away to neighbours, Grandad and Mum's friend who I know has a sweet tooth. They were very much like (English) biscuits, except less like a biscuit and more like a chemical weapon against teeth.

Now you might ask why I never considered how much dough the ingredients would make. NO. I'm bad with numbers. I didn't start to get concerned until AFTER I'd put the dry ingredients in.

You might also ask whether I considered something rolled in sugar might be too sweet for my palate. NO. That's just silliness on my part I think. I think I though (!) there might be some sort of magic alchemy that would transform them.

It was a fun experiment, but I can't relay my measurements as promised, because mine turned out so odd, so I know there was something wrong.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-19-2010, 05:41 PM

Why make them? Couldn't you just measure out the ingredients as in the recipe, weight them for the Brit conversion, and put them back in their respective packages?

kerosene · 04-20-2010, 12:28 AM

They look good, at least. I am sorry they didn't turn out so well. My dough was awfully dry, but I guess maybe since mine were smaller they weren't that crumbly. It does make a lot! I should have put the half batch recipe up.

lumberjim · 04-20-2010, 12:46 AM

snickerdoodles is a great name wasted on a boring ass cookie.

they should be packed with nuts and caramel and nougat!

limey · 04-20-2010, 02:54 AM

I quite liked mine but they weren't cinnamonny enough for me. I also halved the quantities in my recipe because I didn't want to make 36. I'll try again another time (after all, I've got all that Cream of Tartar to use up, now!).
Maybe I'll add nuts and caramel and nougat, too!
Oh, and SG, I love the image of your sorceror's apprentice kitchen!!

double

Still, though, I don't want nutz or noogatz either. Just some flavorz.

glatt · 04-20-2010, 10:37 AM

Shakespeare cookies are the best.

The molasses and oatmeal give them awesome flavor, and the raisins are just enough without being too much. The ginger gives them just the right zip.

They are awesome.
