We were currently on a vacation to Disneyland when they announced the closures and though our trip was cut a little short we were able to still try one of the amazing Fluffer Nutter Churros at California Adventure, it was for sure the best churro I've ever had and... dare I say it gave my favorite Disneyland Resort treat (the Churro Funnel Cake) a run for it's money, when the Parks open back up hopefully we can make it down to do a formal family taste test of which we like better.
However, til then we need to bring some magic home so....
Let me introduce you to the Fluffer Nutter Churro inspired --- Fluffer Nutter Snickerdoodle!
However, as most things on my blog are Disney inspired and Mickey shaped, I'm thinking we should collectively come up with a name. My top ones are the Smickeydoodle, the Mickerdoodle, and the Smickerydoodle... what are your thoughts?! I am also open for other suggestions! Either way these are delightful!
Snickerdoodle Recipe:
1 C. Butter
1 1/2 C. Sugar
2 lg Eggs
2 3/4 C. Flour
2 tsp. Cream of Tartar
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp. Salt
3 TBSP Sugar
3 tsp. Cinnamon
Have on hand peanut butter, chocolate chips and marshmallows if you're turning these into Fluffer Nutter Snickerdoodles.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter, 1 1/2 C. sugar, and eggs. Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients into butter mixture. Then separately mix the 3 Tbsp sugar and 3 tsp. cinnamon in a small bowl. Use cookie scoop and roll scooped dough into the cinnamon/sugar mixture and coat balls by gently rolling in the mixture. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and cook for 10 minutes.-- Watch cookies closely to find the appropriate baking time for your oven.
Then after they have cooled, melt some peanut butter ( I love Jiff specifically reduced fat) and I put just a small amount in the microwave and heated it til it was a drizzling consistency (about a total of 30 seconds in 10-15 second increments). Then drizzled the cookies and sprinkled mini chocolate chips and marshmallow pieces.
Notes: The peanut butter, chocolate chips and marshmallow can be a little overpowering to the cinnamon taste and you want all the flavors to mix together, my goal was to not have one flavor overpower the others so I would just drizzle lightly the peanut butter over your cookie (remember you can always add more later if you desire).
Sidenote: I live at a lower elevation and have a oven that runs a little hotter than most so I had mine set to about 335 degrees and cooked for 11 minutes.
Happy Baking!
