Snickercoco's

 

As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.

As the Snickerdoodle recipe is universal in the secret is the Cream of Tartar which makes the cookies soft, or so they say, I have my own version which adds 2 cups for coconut. It is hard to get coconut in the Brier now, as I like flake, but all they had was one bag of shredded.

I like my cookies big, so bake them bigger. In my oven they take about 20 minutes.....oven is prehistoric.

I like lard as the cookies are softer.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1/2 cup lard
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups coconut
• 
  
• 4 Tablespoons Granulated sugar, for rolling the dough balls in
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon, for rolling the dough balls in

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
• In the bowl add the butter, lard, and two types of sugar. Cream together until fully combined.
• Add the eggs followed by the vanilla. Mixing until smooth.
• Add the flour mixture. I start with a spoon and then knead with latex gloves to incorporate the last ingredient of the coconut.
• Chill dough for at least 30 minutes or just have a cold house and save time.
• Once dough is ready remove from the refrigerator and measure it out by the tablespoon full, rolling it into a ball if you like small cookies.
• In a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon and then I make pancake things out of cookies, so they look like cookies and flip them over into the sugar mix.
• Place the dough balls at least 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for however many  minutes it takes. For me, the cookies sort of sink in the middle and craze a bit when done.,  Remove from baking sheet and place on cooling rack to cool completely.

That is the Lame Cherry Snickercoco's.
