Sugardoodles A light and crispy cross between a Snickerdoodle and a Sugar Cookie.

Sugardoodles are my version of a cross between a sugar cookie and a Snickerdoodle. They are light and crispy on the outside; slightly soft in the center with a sugar-coated, crinkled top-and so easy!

Cream of tartar gives a Snickerdoodle and these Sugardoodles their signature crinkle top and soft and chewy texture. Shortening makes them fluffy and butter gives them their rich, homemade flavor.

I made Sugardoodles along with my Soft & Chewy Double Chocolate Pudding Cookies for a tv segment on ABC 33/40 and slathered lemon curd on one cookie and sandwiched vanilla ice cream between the two cookies. Yum! So refreshing. I also made some ice cream sandwiches without the lemon curd and rolled the sides of vanilla ice cream in sprinkles. They were a hit with the whole crew.

On ABC 33/40 Talk of Alabama  and WBRC Fox6 Good Day Alabama, I showed viewers how to make Dulce de Leche 2 Ingredient Ice Cream and ice cream sandwiches made with Double Chocolate Pudding Cookies, Sugardoodles, and brownies and purchased Pizelle waffle cookies.

Equipment

• mixer

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup salted butter softened
• 2/3 cup shortening
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°. Beat butter, shortening, and sugars together in a large mixing
• bowl at medium-high speed 2 minutes with an electric mixer. Set a timer; you are beating
• in air to create a fluffy texture. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add vanilla and beat just until combined.
• Combine flour, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in a bowl or large plate and add
• to the mixing bowl; beat just until flour is incorporated.
• Shape about 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball and roll in granulated sugar.Using a tiny
• ice cream scoop gives you a head start on the shape and makes sure the size is the same
• every time.
• Bake for 8 or 9 minutes or just until center is set. Do not overbake. They will be soft at first, but will firm up to be a soft and chewy cookie. For a crisp cookie, bake 9 to 10 minutes.

Notes
