Master Baker – Cinnamon!
I haven’t been baking or blogging much this month. Life in Boston has been cold and wet and work has been keeping me really busy. I have made over 5 dozen of these chocolate cupcakes that are AWESOME and so easy to make. We had friends in town, I had the flu one weekend and I attended a Vegan Cupcake baking class one weekend. So like I said, it’s been a busy month.
I wanted to participate in the first ever Master Baker blogging event. The rules are simple – bake something with the ingredient specified. I was in the mood for some cookies and these guys really hit the spot. They made the house smell delicious. I enjoyed a couple crumbled over ice cream and some warm homemade applesauce. YUM.
I followed the recipe exactly, except I used Egg Beaters since we didn’t have any eggs. I used my cookie scoop and got 36 cookies and they took the entire 12 minutes to bake. The dough looked like cinnamon ice cream. I wanted to eat it all without cooking it…
Cinnamon Cookies – recipe from Allrecipes.com – makes 36
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/8 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Cream together butter and sugar.
Mix in egg and molasses, blending well.
Mix flour, baking soda and cinnamon; add to creamed mixture, mixing well.
(I chilled the dough for about 15 minutes in the fridge) Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

How I wish I knew of this recipe a few weeks ago! I didn’t have cream of tartar on hand and didn’t want to risk making snickerdoodles without out so I used a sugar cookie recipe instead… blah! But now I know for next time this exists! Great job on your snickerdoodles. They look perfect!
Sorry to hear that. These were very good. I can’t believe I’ve never made them before…
How do you do it? Where do all the cookies go? Is Carlos put’n on his winter weight? I am impressed in all the cookies you’ve made. Looking forward to what you’ll do next.
Haha Scott. I have to admit I’m a little cookie-d out. I’m making the last batch today. Most have been going to work and we’ve been eating some. I also have 3 kinds in the freezer to take to CT with us when we’re there.
hiya.. thanks so much for sharing the recipe.. the only thing i did a bit different was melt the butter before mixing with the sugar.. these cookies taste soo yummy.. fluffy on the inside and crispy on the edges!! thanks again.. happy holidays!
