Notes
- Sugar: The brown sugar helps to make the cookies chewy, whilst the superfine or caster sugar helps to give our cookies sweetness. You could substitute with superfine completely. It is not recommended to completely substitute with brown sugar as this result in more of a caramel undertone.
- Baking powder: This helps our cookies rise quickly giving them their signature crinkle appearance. Additionally cream of tartar is included in the baking powder helping to give them their signature slightly tart flavor.
- Ground cinnamon: The ground cinnamon in our sugar coating also gives our cookies their signature flavor.
- Ice Cream Scoop: The scoop used here creates large cookies with a diameter of 6 centimeters / 2.36 inches.
- Make these pumpkin flavored: You could add a tablespoon or 2 of pumpkin butter to add a Fall flavor to the cookies. However, the result might mean your cookies are slightly more moist in their dough and whilst baking so it is recommended to add 10 grams / 1 tablespoon of plain flour for any moisture you add in to create a dough similar to the ones below.
