Tips

1. • Snickerdoodles get their unique flavour from the use of cream of tartar as a leavener; it is readily available in the spice section of your supermarket.

2. • Don't have a cookie scoop? Scoop mounded 1 tablespoon measures to portion out cookies.

3. • If using unsalted butter, add 1/2 tsp/2 ml salt to the flour mixture.

4. • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
