First day of summer vacation meant a day in the kitchen baking with my boys. My youngest, as many of you know, is a Snickerdoodle fiend. I was so excited when a reader sent me this recipe last week. We are always up for Snickerdoodle anything.
I loved the Honey Nut Cheerio addition as well as the oats. This cookie was crunchy and soft, the perfect change up in a favorite cookie.
The hardest part was waiting for the dough to chill before rolling it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
You’ll have to give these a try, I think you’ll love them.
Mix together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
Beat butter and both sugars together on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla beat for an additional minute. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the dry ingredients until well blended. Fold in cheerios.
Chill the dough for 2 hours, as dough will be too soft to roll in sugar without chilling. Once chilled, roll dough into balls and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake for 12-14 minutes in a 375o F oven (let them sit on the cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes before moving cookies to a cooling rack).
Absolutely loved these.
