Snickerdoodle Bakery
Mary Decker, proprietor
 


The freshest breads, pies, cookies and more! Because that freshness is hard to package and mail, you'll have to visit to experience our goodness. But in the interest of having a presence on the SNOW website, we’ll post some of our favorite, secret recipes for you to enjoy.

 

We’ll start with Bobby’s favorite – frosted sugar cookies. You remember Bobby, don’t you? He’s featured in Christmas Quilt Anthology in a story called “The Hungry Christmas Guest”. If you haven’t read his story, you can find it at the Wonderland bookstore.

At the bakery, we use large quantities of ingredients to make dozens and dozens of cookies. It’s sometimes hard,  like with the icing recipe, to remember the exact amounts, but it’ll turn out anyway. It’s that easy.

New Recipe -- APPLE CAKE
Good any time of year -- not just during Apple Cider Days! 
Cream together 1/4 cup butter and 1 cup sugar.
Add 1 egg, beat well.
Sift 1 cup flour, 1 tsp. soda, 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/4 tsp salt.

Bake in a 9x9 greased pan at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
Serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or butter sauce.

Sugar Cookies

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg. Add milk in which soda has been dissolved, then vanilla, flour and salt. Mix well. Chill. Roll to desired thickness and cut in your favorite holiday shapes. Bake at 375o for 10 minutes.
