SnickerQuoodles

'Tis the season to be baking.

Yes, many men and women (I'm not sexist) will be donning their aprons and getting ready to do some serious holiday baking.

Don't forget you'll need, flour, sugar (both white and brown, I'm not a racist either), baking powder, baking soda, canned milks (evaporated, condensed, and sweetened condensed) dashes of salt and then an eclectic assortment of sugary stuffs and spices to complete your baking creations.

I make a mean pumpkin roll (thanks to a very good friend teaching me how to make them, thanks you know who!). They are always a hit with anyone I give some to. Hey, I even made a pecan pie for Turkey Day. We still have some left. It was nutty and sweet, kind of like me! Well at least the nutty part.

Anyhoo, I thought I would share with you a "new" quirky cookie recipe that is sure to be a hit with family and friends and it is guaranteed to tantalize their taste buds into a tizzy of tasty delight.

SnickerQuoodles

• 1 1/2 cups sugar (After last my blood work, the lab informed my oncologist that my blood is two parts sugar one part plasma. But lucky for you I can extract the sugar from my blood.)
  
  
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened (My butt is softened and I'm pretty sure I have at least one, two or even three cups.)
  
  
• 1/2 cup shortening (Take your pick, belly or thigh fat.)
  
  
• 2 eggs (My eggs got nuked a couple of summers ago, I'm sure they're still glowing, but don't let that stop you from using them. I'm sure they'll be just fine. *wink*)
  
  
• 2 3/4 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose or unbleached flour (This might take some time. But I will start using the Ped Egg tonight. It will be close, but I think I can have just enough by noon tomorrow.)
  
  
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar (I'll scrape some off my teeth.)
  
  
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (I've got lots of soda coursing through my veins: Diet Dr. Pepper. I'll extract the baking soda part.)
  
  
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (Easy extraction because there is never a shortage of salty sweat on Quirky.)
  
  
• 1/4 cup sugar (More blood sugar extraction on the double!)
  
  
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (I will extract it from the "pepper" part of Diet Dr. Pepper.)

1. Heat oven to 400ºF.
   
2. Mix 1 1/2 cups sugar, the butter, shortening and eggs in large bowl. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
   
3. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch LOONS. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Roll LOONS in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
   
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

It will be the most delicious and quirky cookies you have ever ever eaten!

You could almost say I've put my heart and soul into this recipe.

And my body.

Can't forget that.

Or can you?
