Snickerdoodles
250g butter
1 tps vanilla
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon caster sugar, extra
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Beat butter, sugars ad vanilla in small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating until just combined. Transfer to large bowl.
Stir combined sifted flour, soda and nutmeg, in two batches, into egg mixture. Cover, refrigerate dough for 30 mins (dough is too sticky to roll straight away).
Meanwhile, preheat oven to moderate.
Combine extra caster sugar and cinnamon in small shallow bowl. Roll level tablespoons of the dough into balls; roll balls in cinnamon sugar. Place balls on ungreased oven trays, 7cm apart.
Bake in moderate oven about 12 mins. Cool biscuits on trays.
TIP: Once biscuits have cooled enough to handle, coat them in the cinnamon sugar again - even yummier!!!
If you like cinnamon doughnuts, you should like these biscuits!
