Snickerdoodles

How perfect are the cozy flavors of cinnamon and sugar this time of year?! While Snickerdoodles may be a year round favorite we believe that they deserve more attention during the holiday season. Not only are they delicious but they are so much fun to make with the family. Enjoy these with a cup of hot cocoa to really get yourself in the spirit and remember to always share your creations with us!

Recipe:

3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. Cinnamon

Directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Measure and whisk all of your dry ingredients and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a stand mixer and a paddle attachment on low speed or in a medium bowl with a whisk. Mix until there are no lumps and your mixture is smooth. Add vanilla and egg. Mix until fully combined. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go. Add the dry ingredients into your bowl and mix just until your dough comes together. Set your dough aside and make your cinnamon sugar mixture. To do this, add the 1/4 cup of sugar and 2 Tbsp. of cinnamon to a small bowl and mix until it is totally combined. Next you will take your dough and scoop it into balls. As you can see in the picture above I made 2 different sized cookies. This part is totally up to you! The smaller cookies where about 1 1/2 Tbsp. sized balls while the other cookies were about 3 Tbsp. Whichever size you decide to bake, roll each dough ball in your cinnamon sugar mixture before placing on your baking sheet. The smaller cookies will bake for about 8-10 minutes while the bigger ones will bake for about 10-15 minutes. Take your cookies out of the oven and place on a cooling rack before you dig in, no matter how delicious they look and smell do your best to be patient :) Repeat the scooping and rolling process until all of your dough is used up. Enjoy!

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
