Braces-Friendly Snickerdoodles

BRACES-FRIENDLY RECIPES

Orthodontic patients may enjoy a variety of healthy food options, from main dishes to side dishes to snacks and desserts. A healthy diet provides essential nutrients and helps the patient achieve the best possible results from orthodontic treatment. Here are some recipes to help you prepare braces-friendly foods for the orthodontic patients in your life.

Sensational Cinnamon Snickerdoodles

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup shortening
• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on low to combine the shortening, 1 ½ cups sugar and eggs. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. In a separate, small bowl, stir together the 2 Tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to use later. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about an hour. With well-floured hands, pinch bits of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar until coated. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 8 to 10 minutes at 400°, being careful not to over bake. Makes about five dozen. Store in a covered container.
