Ultimate Maple Snickerdoodles

This yields approximately 6 dozen cookies using the small pampered chef batter scoop, slightly rounded.

Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup butter flavored Crisco, softened
1-1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
2 eggs

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the Crisco and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and maple syrup. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just mixed. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies will be crackly on top and look wet in the middle. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

If desired, instead of icing with maple-cinnamon sugar cookie icing, roll dough balls in sugar before baking.
