"We are in the kitchen. Margot is at the table on her computer; I am sitting next to her, rolling cookie dough into balls and dropping them in cinnamon and sugar. Snickerdoodles to get back in Kitty's good graces. Earlier, when I went in to say good night, Kitty rolled over and wouldn't speak to me because she's still convinced I'm going to try to cut her out of the Paris trip. My plan is to put the snickerdoodles on a plate right next to her pillow so she wakes up to the smell of fresh-baked cookies." (To all the boys I've loved before, chapter 1)
Before reading To all the boys I've loved before by Jenny Han (you can read a review here) I've never heard about snickerdoodles because they are pretty unknown here in Germany. So when I read this amazing book I had no idea what kind of cookies these are (I even thought they had something to do with snickers), but since Kitty is so obsessed with them, I searched for a recipe and made them. I'm honestly so glad I did because I just love them so much!
Ingredients:
-230g flour
-1/2 TS ground cinnamon
-2 TS baking powder
-1 pinch of salt
-115g butter
-150g sugar

-sugar and cinnamon for cinnamon sugar
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 190°C.
2. Stir your butter, then mix in your sugar and vanilla sugar/extract, add your egg and stir everything together.
3. Mix your flour with the salt, cinnamon and baking powder in a seperate bowl.
4. Stir your flour mixture in the butter mixture until you have a nice dough.
5. Form small balls of the dough and roll them in cinnamon sugar.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe. Happy baking!
