Tonight I made Joy of Cooking's snickerdoodles. Halving the recipe, I thought I would end up with about eighteen cookies. Instead, I ended up with nine large, rather flat ones.They are quite yummy -- though not quite as dense and flavor-packed as I'd like.
I'm at the point where I don't really quite know what to do differently to improve them. I suppose that "sense" will come with experience.
Here are my pre- and post-doodle shots. See the little taste I took?
All in all, not a bad baking session, especially since this is the first sweet treat I've baked from scratch in...I honestly can't remember. Probably at least three or four years!?!
