This is my take on snickerdoodles. My husbands favorite flavors are orange and chocolate so I made these as an experiment and he loved them, so much so one night he ate 30 of them, yes 30! Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 cup shortening |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon orange extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 orange rind, grated |
1 tablespoon triple sec or 1 tablespoon grand marnier |
1/2 cup cocoa, i like to use 1/4 cup regular cocoa and 1/4 cup dark chocolate cocoa |
2 teaspoons cream of tartar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Cream sugar and shortening with orange rind, extracts and liqueur. If you don't have the liqueurs add another teaspoon of orange extract.
2. Add eggs one at a time and mix well.
3. Slowly add dry ingredients until stiff dough is formed.
4. Place in bowl and set in fridge for about 30 minutes. This helps make dough workable.
5. Heat oven to 325F as the chocolate burns easy at higher temperatures.
6. Use about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into ball and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
7. Bake 12-15 minutes until tops start to fall.
8. Place on platter to cool.
