Lightened Up Snickerdoodles
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg white
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Trader Joe's 100% White Whole Wheat flour

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or more if desired)
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine 3/8 cup (6 tbsp) sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar and butter in bowl. Beat with a mixer until fluffy. Beat in vanilla and egg.
In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and salt. Stir with a whisk to combine. Add flour mixture to butter mixture. Shape dough into 24 balls. (I used the large end of a melon baller then used the other end to help coat the cinnamon sugar in the little bowl)
Combine 1/8 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Roll balls in sugar mixture and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets coated with cooking spray or on a silpat. Flatten cookies with a glass with desired.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 5-6 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute and then move to a cooling rack. Makes 24 cookies.

Those look really good! And at 68 calories per cookie they are definitely doable.
ReplyDeleteKeep 'em coming! :-)
ReplyDeleteStill stuck on the brownies from yesterday, heading to TJ's tonight for Candy Cane Joe Joes. Must. Make Brownies. Then give away most of them!
ReplyDeleteThese sound great, too, and will be on the 'must try' list because snickerdoodles are a family fav. YUM!
Added to my 'to print and make' document, which is getting quite large. (Tip: Invest in sugar futures.)
ReplyDelete68!! Per cookie! I can afford that!
ReplyDeleteOK, you are WONDER WOMAN!!! How you can resist the dough and only eat these responsibly is AMAZING. I just pulled some out of the oven and can't wait until they are cool enough to eat!!!! The dough was incredible *blush*I'm not worthy*bow*all Wayne and Garth style.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! You are a hero!!!
