From Teens Cook by Megan & Jill Carle
Snickerdoodles
Makes approximately 72 cookies.
Dough
1 cup of butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 2/3 cups of flour
Topping
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
To prepare the dough:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl and mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until completely combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix for 2 minutes, or until the mixture is fluffy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and mix for 30 seconds. Add the flour and mix on low speed until the flour is completely incorporated.
To prepare the cookies:
Combine the 2 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl. Drop a teaspoonful of the dough into the cinnamon sugar and shake the bowl slightly to coat the dough. Place the dough on an ungreased baking sheet and roughly form it into a ball with your fingers. (The balls don't have to be perfect, just vaguely round.) Continue with the remaining dough, placing the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Press down on the cookies to flatten them slightly. Bake them for 8 - 10 minutes, or until their edges just begin to brown.
Frozen Bananas with Chocolate and Toffee
Makes 6 bananas
3 bananas
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup toffee chips
Line a baking pan with parchment or waxed paper.
Peel the bananas and cut each one in half crosswise.
Insert a skewer or Popsicle stick 2 to 3 inches into one end of each banana half. Place the bananas on the pan and freeze for 30 minutes.
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 2 minutes, or until completely melted.
Holding a banana over the bowl, spoon the chocolate over the banana, spreading quickly to cover the entire outside. Sprinkle the banana with the toffee chips and place it on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bananas. Freeze the bananas for at least 30 minutes, or up to several days.
