Cookbook Club – Holiday Cookie Swap

As a bonus Cookbook Club event, we did a holiday cookie swap where each person chose a recipe from either BraveTart, The Cookie Collection, or Dorie’s Cookies. Then we all got together and swapped cookies, so you went with one batch of cookies and came home with a variety pack! To see the whole cookie collection, go to my cookbook club site. For now – my dish!

With three cookbooks to choose from, I thought I would have a hard time deciding on a cookie recipe. There were a lot of yummy-sounding cookies to choose from, but when I saw the Apple-Cinnamon Cereal Snickerdoodles, my mind was pretty well made up. They sounded so fun, and unlike any cookie I’ve made before.

I beat butter and sugar together until fluffy.

Then I beat in egg and vanilla.

I whisked together flour, ground Apple Jacks, cinnamon, baking soda, and cream of tartar. I gradually added the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until combined.

I mixed more ground Apple Jacks, sugar, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. I formed dough balls and rolled them in this sugar mixture.

I baked the cookies at 375 degrees F until lightly golden.

In the meantime, I soaked some more Apple Jacks in milk. After 15 minutes, I strained the cereal milk into a bowl.

I whisked powdered sugar into the cereal milk to make a glaze.

I drizzled the cereal milk glaze on the cooled cookies. They came out wonderfully chewy and tasting just like Apple Jacks – what a fun treat!
