Bunny Butt Snickerdoodle Cookies Recipes

COPYCAT SNICKERDOODLE CUPCAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Whisk the flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low between additions. Mix in the vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the dry mixture and mix on medium low until incorporated.
• For the coating: Whisk the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside about 1 tablespoon of the mixture in a small bowl for topping the baked cookies.
• Divide the dough into 10 pieces, about 1/3 cup each. With wet hands, shape each piece of dough into a ball and roll in the cinnamon-sugar coating, rewetting your hands as needed. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each dough ball until roughly 1 inch thick.
• Bake until the cookies are puffed and the edges are very lightly browned, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets.
• For the frosting: While the cookies cool, mix the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium high until combined. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt and mix on low until incorporated, then mix on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
• Pipe a swirl of frosting starting in the center of each cookie going outward to the edge. Top with a sprinkle of the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

GIANT SNICKERDOODLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Whisk the flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, the cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Beat the butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
• Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Pat the dough together into a ball. Roll in the cinnamon sugar until well coated, sprinkling the cinnamon sugar on the dough as you go. Put the dough in the center of an unlined baking sheet. Press into an 8-inch round, about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon sugar over the dough.
• Bake until the cookie is cracked in the center and light golden brown around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let the cookie cool completely on the pan. Cut into wedges.
