Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe and Red Ape Organic Cinnamon Giveaway!
ByIt’s too bad you can’t smell my house right now. The boys and I have been baking Snickerdoodles and the whole house smells SO GOOD!!!
It seems that my boys think sitting on the
countertop is the best way to bake.
Last week I received some of this yummy organic Red Ape Cinnamon from KestrelGrowth.com. I don’t know why I’ve never tried to make a healthier version of Snickerdoodles. But…when my Red Ape Cinnamon came in the mail that’s the first thing I knew I wanted to make!
Snickerdoodles
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup sucanat or rapadura
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 Tablespoons sucanat mixed with 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Stir together melted butter and sucanat. Add egg, vanilla, baking soda and cream of tartar, stirring well. Mix in flour. Cover bowl and chill dough in refrigerator for one hour. Roll dough into one inch balls. Roll balls in the sucanat/cinnamon mixture. Place balls about two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
These cookies turned out SO good!! Now, I want to use my new cinnamon in Applesauce Bread and Cinnamon Swirl Bread!! I love baking in the fall…
This week, just in time for YOUR fall baking, KestrelGrowth.com is offering to give one of my readers a FREE jar of Red Ape Cinnamon!! Leave a comment here letting us know why you’d love to win!
I’ll draw a random winner on Tuesday, September 15. Woohoo for Red Ape Cinnamon!
We go through cinnamon in my house like it’s nobody’s business!! :) It would be great to win!!

My dear hubby LOVES cinnamon so I try to cook with it often. Happy hubby, happy wifey? Regardless of whether I win, I think I may look into Red Ape. =)

Well, for one thing– I want to use it in this snickerdoodle recipe! I don’t think I can wait, though. I’m going to make them tonight and then later– with my new jar of Red Ape– make some more!
By the by– I found a yummy syrup-y way to use cinnamon, the raspberries from our yard, and peaches from our tree… to stretch our maple syrup. It’s so simple, but ingenious. If you haven’t seen it on the Kitchen Stewardship blog, here it is:

I would love to win. Nothing is better than the smell of cinnamon baking in the fall.
[Reply]
We love cinnamon in our house – seems lots of others do, too! It smells great and tastes yummy on applesauce, in cookies, even sprinkled in coffee. We’d love to try a healthier, probably tastier, cinnamon!
[Reply]
Yum!! I would love to try this!
[Reply]
I’d love it b/c we put cinnamon on everything!!!
[Reply]
As everyone else here, we LOVE cinnamon! We use it all the time. I have not had a chance to try organic and can’t wait to try some. Trying to run out of our huge Sam’s club, probably irradiated, one.
[Reply]
I would love to try this cinnamon! We all love cinnamon and you can use it in just about everything!
[Reply]
Cool! I’ll sign up for this! I love cinnamon…in just about anything!:-)
[Reply]
We use cinnamon regularly around here…and just TONIGHT in the snickerdoodles! My only complaint about the recipe…it didn’t make enough cookies! Another winning recipe from Heavenly Homemakers.
[Reply]
I just ran out of cinnamon and would love to try this. Snickerdoodles are one of my mom’s favorites, so I had them all the time growing up, but haven’t had one in years!
[Reply]
I would love to try the Red Ape Cinnamon! We have been trying to buy and use more organic spices and ingredients in our family. Cinnamon is one of my favorite things to add to my morning coffee!( Which I really must have prior to starting school with the children!)

I would love to win. My 3 year old son likes nothing better than putting on his chef costume and baking with me. Cinnamon would be a welcome addition to our baking! :)
[Reply]
Why I would like to win the Red Ape Cinnamon…hmm!
Cinnamon (I just found out) is great for reducing belly fat! It is the one spice I am ALWAYS running out of. I am in the process of switching my kitchen to a more healthy kitchen and organic cinnamon would be a nice touch. My girls LOVE to bake so we could make some of these YUMMY sounding Snickerdoodles. My list could go on but I think you get the idea that I would LOVE to win. :D
Blessings,
Kim

Ummmm……because cinnamon is YUMMY!! :) I love to put it in my coffee.
[Reply]
Who doesn’t love cinnamon? I have a great crock-pot apple butter recipe I’m dying to try!
[Reply]
Would love to win! Thanks! I use it in a lot of baking and to flavor my daughter’s food.
[Reply]
I would love to win cinnamon! I put it in just about everything, and always a little more than the recipe calls for. ;-)
[Reply]
I’d love to give this brand a try. I use a TON of cinnamon and usually get mine from the grocery store or online in bulk.
[Reply]
Wow!! I can not wait to make these with the kids.
[Reply]
We love cinnamon– I just put 4x the cinnamon called for in a recipe, and I’m not sure my husband will think that’s cinnamony enough
[Reply]
The cookies sound terrific! What’s not to love about cinnamon? Great in oatmeal, applesauce, muffins, cookies, tea…the list goes on and on.
[Reply]
Cookies sound really good. I would love to win the cinnamon as my husband is diabetic and uses it on his morning oatmeal every day and also puts it on his cottage cheese & fruit salad. It is good for diabetics. We use a lot of it at our house.
[Reply]
I would love to try those snickerdoodles! I also love baking in the fall!!
[Reply]
Love the smell of warm cinnamon! Gets me in the mood for cooler weather.
[Reply]
Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices to bake with. It takes good in so many things, and it’s a superfood, too!
[Reply]
I would love to win the Red Ape Cinnamon to try the yummy sounding Snickerdoodle recipe you shared!!
[Reply]
Love, love, love your blog, Laura. I’d love to win this Red Ape Cinnamon because I’m sure it would would make all the breads, cookies and muffins I’m making this fall taste even better. I’ve always used the cinnamon from the grocery and would love to taste “real cinnamon.”
[Reply]
How can I resist a chance to win cinnamon? Gotta be one of the best spices ever. I can smell it now! :)
[Reply]
I would love to win because it just seems that cinnamon goes with fall. Thanks
[Reply]
I just made your snickerdoodle recipe. My boys love it. All of us at the cookies in one day. I have to admit it’s an easy smeazy recipe and I like even better the chocolate chip recipes (now that is saying alot!!).
[Reply]
Because there is nothing better than the smell of cinnamon!!! I LOVE the fall and everything it brings, especially the fall scents – pumpkin, apple, cinnamon & spice. I would love to try the Red Ape Cinnamon! :)
[Reply]
Two words. Apple Pie I love to bake apple pie with cinnamon.
[Reply]

[Reply]
I LOVE baking, and I use cinnamon all the time! I’d love to try this kind. :) Thanks for the great giveaway!
[Reply]
After a long summer in a hot apartment (where I did NOT want to turn on the stove!) I am looking forward to baking again – cinnamon swirl bread, apple crisp, and cinnamon rasin bagels are all on my list – and it’d be great to have some high quality cinnamon!
Thanks for the giveaway!
[Reply]
We love cinnamon around here and I’ve never tried Organic before, would love to try it!

My husband eats cinnamon on everything – eggs, meat dishes, beans and of course the breads. I have never heard of Red Ape, but would love to see if we can taste a difference. I appreciate the chance to win!
[Reply]

I have always loved cinnamon, but I really need to increase my intake of it to help regulate my blood sugars. A good quality cinnamon would make that a real pleasure!
[Reply]

[Reply]
who doesn’t like cinnamon, and organic! Bring it on, would love to try it!
[Reply]
I would love to win a Red Ape Cinnamon because everyone in the household loves Cinnamon. You can you cinnamon in almost in baking or in cooking. I can use a jar of it in my fall baking and since is organic it would be even better..yummy :)
[Reply]
I would love to try some organic cinnamon, I have not used up all my spices yet, so I am not completely converted over yet, :)
