Snickerdoodles

1/2 cup butter, at room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 tablespoons milk

1/4 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon cinnamon for dipping

Cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well until combine, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix until dough comes together. Add in milk. If dough is still crumbly, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it comes together (I only had to use 1tbsp). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In a bowl combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Remove dough from fridge and roll into big 1 1/2 inch balls. Dip in cinnamon sugar mixture and place on baking sheet. Lightly press down on dough to flatten it. Bake at 180deg C for 10-12 minutes. 

Hmmm... These smelt delicious, but I can now confirm that I do not like cinnamon. Interestingly I can pin-point the exact moment in my life at which I was put off cinnamon. But that is beside the point, the boys all enjoyed these cookies, don't be alarmed that they look uncooked when you take them out of the own - the outside crisps up, and the inside stays soft.
