How to make the Food Network star’s Snickerdoodles
Featured on the “Holiday Cookie Party!” episode of Trisha’s Southern Kitchen, Yearwood demonstrated just how easy it is to whip up a batch of Snickerdoodles. Practically foolproof, she said “you can’t go wrong” with them. Plus, it’s an “easy dough to make.”
The snickerdoodles start out like any other standard cookie recipe. Yearwood combines butter, sugar, and eggs in the bowl of a standing mixer. However, there is one not-so-standard cookie ingredient she also tosses in and that’s vegetable shortening.
Next, comes measuring and sifting the dry ingredients. Then Yearwood slowly adds them to the wet mixture. Once the dough’s formed she shapes it into balls. After rolling each one in cinnamon sugar the cooking show places them on a baking sheet and puts them in the oven. Yearwood’s Snickerdoodles are done about 10 minutes later.
