Rather than trying to beat the
competitors, especially if they have a exceptional
product, Mrs. Fields' Famous Brands waves the cash at
'em. With the acquisition of Great American Cookies in
1998 -- by the company that made chewy mall cookies big
business -- Mrs. Fields is now peddling her baked wares
in more than 90% of the premier shopping malls in the
United States. That's how you make the dough! One of the
all-time favorites you can snag at any of the 364 Great
American Cookies outlets is this clone of the classic
snickerdoodle. Rolled in cinnamon and sugar, it's soft
and chewy like the other cookies, and will seem to be
undercooked when you take it out of the oven. When it
cools it should be gooey, yet firm in the middle. And a
couple bites will make you wonder: "Got milk?!"
1/2 cup butter (1 stick),
softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Topping
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1. In a large bowl, cream
together the butter and sugars with an electric mixer on
high speed. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until
smooth.
2. In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda
and cream of tartar.
3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and
mix well.
4. Preheat oven to 300 degrees while you let the dough
rest for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.
5. In a small bowl combine the sugar with the cinnamon
for the topping.
6. Take about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the dough and roll it
into a ball. Roll this dough in the cinnamon/sugar
mixture and press it onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Repeat for the remaining cookies.
7. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes and no more. The
cookies may seem undercooked, but will continue to
develop after they are removed from the oven. When the
cookies have cooled they should be soft and chewy in the
middle. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)
Makes 16-18 cookies.
