Snickerdoodles!

It's getting late but I wanted to post about today's success in the kitchen: SNICKERDOODLES. Now that I think about it, it's a rather lengthy, though cute name for such a simple cookie.

Snickerdoodles I Baked from Scratch

Usually the snickerdoodles I, and probably you, are more familiar with are the wide, thin versions of these little cinnamon-and-sugar coated balls but for some reason, they didn't spread much. I suspect it's because I didn't add enough shortening. However, tomorrow when I use the rest of the refrigerated dough I shall bake at a lower temperature in the hopes that they turn out looking like the more common cookies. Still, they tasted great!























Next Planned Endeavor:

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Question: Would imitation vanilla extract affect the original taste of red velvet cake? If so, what substitute(without ANY alcohol) would be suitable for this dessert?
