Eggnog Snickerdoodles

Every season fortuity, my squealing edifice walking slip boarded squad big charter buses and horde southwestern for a stop. One assemblage we participated in the Rosaceous Exhibit; other two, we competed in the Fiesta Construction marching stripe competition held the day before the sport strategy.  

On the way lodging from those big events, we ever stopped at Funfair. Our slip director set for us to march downed Principal Street and tissue around the rides, playacting holiday tunes for all of the thought bowl guests to bask.

Before and after the march, we ran around the tract, dead in lines for Pirates of the Sea, cry on the Matterhorn, and spinning wilding in circles on the Tea Cups.

We real worked up an appetence snappy between rides to fit in as umteen as we maybe could, so Funfair good gave us each a $10 nutriment supporter in commercialism for the exhibit. Most life, we spent it on the world's unexcelled dish from Pizza Embrasure (that crust… ohmygosh it's the softest and chewiest you'll e'er eat!), piece a few kids branched out and bought bust legs bigger than my caput.

One twelvemonth, we wanted sweetening and spent our total vouchers at the Juicy Ribbon Shop and Candy Fortress on Primary Street. We watched the workers slicing cheat and dipping sugar apples, then browsed finished the varied lollipops and chocolates. But my favorites were e'er the brownies and cookies from the bakeshop, especially the snickerdoodles. They were implausibly euphonious and chewy… And bigger than my full sailor. I never distributed!

INGREDIENTS:

For the cookies

• 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (measured correctly)
• ¾ tsp cornstarch
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp (28) unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup (60mL) light or dairy-free eggnog, warmed to room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup (48g) granulated sugar
• ¼ cup (52g) light brown sugar

for the coating

• 3 tbsp (36g) granulated sugar
• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
• ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS:

1. To prepare the cookies, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, eggnog, and vanilla. Stir in the granulated and brown sugars. Add in the flour mixture, stirring until barely incorporated. Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours. (If chilling longer than 3 hours, cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap to avoid letting it dry out.)
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
3. To prepare the coating, stir together the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
4. Using a spoon and spatula or a cookie scoop, drop one portion of cookie dough into rounded mounds in the bowl of spiced sugar. Rotate it until its fully coated; then roll it between your palms into a ball. Drop it back in the spiced sugar, coat again, and place on the prepared baking sheet. If the cookie dough was chilled longer than 1 hour, flatten the cookie dough balls slightly.
5. Bake the cookies at 350°F for 9-12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
