Ingredients
250 g margarine
1 cups sugar (white or brown)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups plain cake flour
- INGREDIENTS – COATING
½ cup brown sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon
Method
- To start, cream the sugar and margarine until it is fully combined with a whisk or stand mixer.
- Mix in the eggs one at a time and add the vanilla essence.
- In a separate bowl mix the sieved flour with the baking powder, tartar and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mix to your wet while mixing.
- Once combined you should have a thick, almost dough-like mixture. In a small bowl mix the ½ cup of brown sugar and 4 teaspoons of cinnamon.
- Preheat oven to 180˚c.
- Take teaspoon sized amounts of dough, roll into a ball, roll in the cinnamon mix and flatten. This is where a little helper might come in handy! You can flatten the balls with a fork for a nice pattern.
- Space the cookies out on a greased tray and bake for 10-12 minutes.
