Fluffy Maple Snickerdoodles
Oh hi there! Alex here with another delicious maple recipe for you. These snickerdoodles are the perfect fall treat and are so easy to share with friends and family. I know you will love them! Lets get started.
As with most baking recipes, there are quite a few ingredients for this one. Most of them, however, involve items you likely already have at home which makes this a pretty simple last minute recipe.
It starts simple, with mixing together all of your dry ingredients and setting them aside. Next, you have to soften your butter. I started with frozen butter and ended up melting it completely. Ideally, you would like to just be partially melted and very soft, but you should be okay if yours ends up fully melted like mine did.
When the butter is ready, you will mix it with the maple syrup, maple sugar, egg & vanilla until uniform. Here is what mine looked like at this point:
You will next add your dry ingredients and mix your batter together, then cool it for a minimum of 30 minutes. You can cool for longer if needed. This is a good time to preheat your oven and get your pan ready for baking. You can also take this time to mix together your cookie coating mixture.
When my dough was done cooling it was dryer and more solid and ready to go. It now had that typical cookie dough texture.
The final prep step involves rolling up balls of cookie dough and coating them in the maple sugar mixture. When you place them on the cookie sheet, be sure it they are at least one inch apart.
Finally, you just need to bake them for about 10 minutes (give or a take a minute depending on your oven) until they are very slightly browned, puffy, and cracking. Here is what mine looked like fresh from the oven:
You should let them cool completely before eating. This will give them a chance to finish setting up so they get that delicious fluffy and soft texture that makes them irresistible.
These were a huge hit at home and at the office and I will definitely keep them in mind for future fall treats. Read on for the recipe so you can give them a try! Enjoy!
