“These sugar cookies resemble ginger snaps, hence the name, sugar snaps. The surface is crackled and the inside is hollow. They are very sweet and crispy; serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!” - by Sweet Stella

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and sugar. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Roll dough into walnut size-balls and place 2 inches apart onto an unprepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool on wire racks.

"These are very simple. I scooped these with a small ice cream scoop, but after scooping, it's important to roll with hands to get that "crinkle" look...." See more"

"I made these with Splenda instead of sugar...FABULOUS! They were a little more cakey than ginger snaps this way, but a big hit nonetheless...." See more"
