snack on this...

Now that I'm back in Finland, I've been wanting to bake everything except finnish pastries so i turned to some American faves. Yes, it's snickerdoodle time my friends. Discovered this recipe on Pinterest, and man am i glad i ran into this lil gem.

SNICKERDOODLES filled w/ MASCARPONE

dough:
1 c sugar
1 c butter (softened)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
3/4 c whole wheat flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

cream sugar and butter, add eggs and vanilla. add all dry ingredients folding them in gently. pop in the fridge for 20 mins.

filling:
8 oz mascarpone
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla

pop in the fridge for 20 mins.

the process:
in a small dish get 1/4 c sugar and 3 tbs of cinnamon.
take a half a tablespoon of dough, flatten it with the help of some flour- make two of these flattened "discs", about 2" in diameter.
take tsp of cream filling, plop on top and seal edges with other cookie disc and carefully roll into a ball.
roll the ball in the sugar n' cinnamon mixture. pop in a 400 degree oven for 7-8 minutes (no longer!).

I over cooked some of them, they are no good unless they're a tiny bit gooey and chewy so keep an eye on that clock.
