Cinnamon Crisps Cookies [snickerdoodles]

Submitted by Srt

"This is a European version of the snickerdoodle. This cookie has the softest dough and makes a bakery-style cookie that will impress you. (Recipe from Chef Express: Home Baking translated cookbook) Tip: You can make caster sugar by putting granulated sugar in your blender and pulse for about 1-2 minutes. The sugar should be reduced to half. It doesn't take long.. be careful not to turn it into sugar powder. However, most supermarkets do carry 10X sugar aka SuperFine sugar."

The snickerdoodle recipe was really good. My sister said it was soft in the inside and crunchy on the outside.

Nice cookies...My co-workers were very appreciative... However, before anyone goes to the trouble of grinding down any sugar in their blender, I recommend checking with your local supermarket... My local supermarket carries Domino's 'superfine' sugar, which is close enough to caster sugar to be an acceptable substitute... Thank you for posting this recipe ;-)
