I originally used this blog to share healthy recipes that I made while receiving foodstamps as an Americorps*VISTA. Now, I am a VISTA alum and a full-time grad student working two jobs. I no longer qualify for foodstamps, but I am still on a very tight food budget. I use this blog to share recipes, voice my opinions on being healthy, and share how much I spend at the grocery store every week on food.

Bake Sale Recipe: Maple Snickerdoodles
These cookies are very similar to those I made for my potluck on friday, except the dough is rolled in cinnamon sugar before they are baked. The original recipe is from the livejournal bakebakebake community.
ingriedients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp real maple syrup
1 egg
2 parts sugar to 1 part cinnamon
directions:
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the maple syrup and egg until combined. Add dry ingredients. Beat until just mixed.
Refrigerate dough for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Roll each ball in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Arrange balls on cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.
Bake until tops are crackly, about 9-12 minutes. Remove from oven and leave cookies on sheets to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely.
