Snickerdoodles - Paradise Bakery

By Maverick19

In the early 90's, I was a store manager for Paradise Bakery. The baked goods, particularly the cookies, were incredible.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 cups shortening
• 3/4 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 4 1/3 cups cake flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• cinnamon and sugar mix

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream the shortening and the sugar in a bowl. Beat for 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla.
3. Add the dry ingredients. Do not over-mix. Chill the dough for a few hours.
4. Roll out very thickly between plastic. Cut in circles with a glass and lather them with the cinnamon-sugar mix. Put more on cookies when on the cookie sheet.

Bake until barely golden and cracked. Check at around 8 minutes.
