Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe and Red Ape Organic Cinnamon Giveaway!

September 8, 2009 by Laura 179 Comments

It’s too bad you can’t smell my house right now. The boys and I have been baking Snickerdoodles and the whole house smells SO GOOD!!!

It seems that my boys think sitting on the
countertop is the best way to bake.

Last week I received some of this yummy organic Red Ape Cinnamon from KestrelGrowth.com. I don’t know why I’ve never tried to make a healthier version of Snickerdoodles. But…when my Red Ape Cinnamon came in the mail that’s the first thing I knew I wanted to make!

snickerdoodlessm

SnickerdoodlesYum

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup sucanat or rapadura
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 Tablespoons sucanat mixed with 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Stir together melted butter and sucanat. Add egg, vanilla, baking soda and cream of tartar, stirring well. Mix in flour. Cover bowl and chill dough in refrigerator for one hour. Roll dough into one inch balls. Roll balls in the sucanat/cinnamon mixture. Place balls about two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.

These cookies turned out SO good!! Now, I want to use my new cinnamon in Applesauce Bread and Cinnamon Swirl Bread!! I love baking in the fall…

This week, just in time for YOUR fall baking, KestrelGrowth.com is offering to give one of my readers a FREE jar of Red Ape Cinnamon!! Leave a comment here letting us know why you’d love to win!

I’ll draw a random winner on Tuesday, September 15. Woohoo for Red Ape Cinnamon!

    I love the smell of cinnamon baking in the house too. We have also never tried organic cinnamon so would love to taste the difference.

    I just recently found your blog a month ago and have been scouring every post and loving the healthy ideas. I am having fun trying new recipes and finding new healthy ways to cook. I have a 1 1/2 yr old girl and a 2 1/2 year old boy. I just started this fall working on the alphabet, colors, shapes and bible memory verses with my son. I love reading what you have to say about homeschooling.
    I am so blessed by reading HeavenlyHomeakers.com. Thank you so much.

    Soooo what is the difference between sucanat and that other sugar you use (can’t remember the name)?

      September 8, 2009 at 9:55 pm

      Rapadura. Oh yeah…I forgot to mention that in the recipe, so I went back in and added it. :)

      Rapadura and Sucanat are the same thing, I’ve learned recently. Except that sucanat tends to be cheaper! Plus, my last batch of rapadura was REALLY strong tasting and we didn’t like it. Sucanat seems to taste milder and we really like it.

      Be careful though! If it’s not organic sucanat, it may just be sugar with molasses added back in. Organic Sucanat is truly “dehydrated cane sugar juice”…sugar in it’s whole form!

    Why would I love Cinnamon? Wait…ORGANIC cinnamon? Because we go through it like crazy at our house. Between Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls, cinnamon bread and all my other baking I fly through cinnamon. I’ve never tried organic and would love to give it a chance.

    I’m working towards a generally more organic and/or local diet for my family and myself. It isn’t easy, but we are making baby steps. And canning and freezing like crazy in order to make it easier this winter!

    Thanks for your inspiration and here’s hoping that we have more cinnamon on the way soon :)

    Funny thing! I JUST made Snickerdoodles for my husband this last weekend. This is his favorite kind. Unfortunately, I was not brave enough to make it using my rapadura. I used Organic Cane Crystals instead because I wanted the lighter color. Of course, if I won this cinnamon, I’d make MORE snickerdoodles and try the Rapadura.

    Thank you! I was just thinking a batch of cookies needed to be made around here, and this recipe is just what I need! :) As for the cinnamon, I’m all for buying organic. I could use this on a yummy fruit salad, or to season a piping bowl of oatmeal in the coming winter months.

    Well, for one thing– I want to use it in this snickerdoodle recipe! I don’t think I can wait, though. I’m going to make them tonight and then later– with my new jar of Red Ape– make some more!

    By the by– I found a yummy syrup-y way to use cinnamon, the raspberries from our yard, and peaches from our tree… to stretch our maple syrup. It’s so simple, but ingenious. If you haven’t seen it on the Kitchen Stewardship blog, here it is:

    Oh, and for anyone who ends up with their cookies running all over their cookie sheets or getting too thin, here’s a tip from BH&G cookbook (p.195): “Use isulated cookie sheets selectively. You may have trouble using them for cookies high in butter…b/c the butter may start to melt, leaking out before the dough is set. And b/c the dough spreads before it sets, cookies may have thin edges.” I have found this to be very true! My first ever batch of Giant Breakfast cookies, baked on insulated sheets, were so thin they fell apart into crumbs but the rest of the batch (on regular aluminum sheets) were normal. Good luck and happy baking! :)
