It was a devastating defeat in the 2010 election....for the Chocolate Chip, the Chocolate Crinkle and Iced Maple Cookies. Yes, a populist uprising in upper camp led to the surprising victory for the write-in candidate Snickerdoodle cookie. Is it a scandal? Probably. But are the cookies fantastic? Like anything from Ada's cookie factory, the answer is yes!
So, in advance of the forthcoming "Mary & Ada's Camp Chippewa Cookbook", I present the Snickerdoodle recipe.
Snickerdoodle Cookies
1 cup soft shortening
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2-3/4 cups flour
1 teasp soda
2 teasp cream of tartar
1/2 teasp salt
Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: 2TBS sugar, 2 teasp cinnamon.
Mix thoroughly the shortening, sugar and eggs. Then add dry ingredients except the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Chill dough. Roll into balls of whatever size you want. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place two inches apart on cookie sheet. Press down. Bake at 350˚ until cookie springs back when lightly touched.
