My youngest son has been asking if I could recreate these cookies since last Christmas and I have finally got round to making them for him!
This was the one cookie my youngest son was desperate to try when we went on holiday last year and did a "Cookie Stroll". My eldest son and myself were desperate to try the Alfajores Cookies!
My son took his collector book and ordered one and had his book stamped. I have to say it looked delicious and my son said it was really good too. My son said I needed to make these for my blog (and him!) when we got home.
So I decided when I got home I would investigate further and try and make my own version. They are essentially a snickerdoodle cookie, topped with Snickers and a drizzle of water icing.
My son declared they were better than Disney ones and the ratio of cookie to SNICKERS was much better!!!!!
Just in case you were wondering we did complete our cookie stroll during the two weeks we were away!
Start by pre-heating the oven to 200 degrees centigrade (180 fan) and line two baking trays with baking parchment.
In the bowl of a stand mixer add the butter, caster sugar and soft light brown sugar.
Beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
Then add the flour, cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda and ground cinnamon.
Mix again until you have a smooth but soft dough.
In a small bowl place the sugar and cinnamon and mix.
Roll into 16 balls, then roll in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
Flatten them slightly then bake on the pre-prepared baking trays for 8 minutes.
While they are baking cut the SNICKERS bars into small chunks.
Take the cookies out of the oven and put 3-4 SNICKERS chunks on the hot cookies. Press them in slightly then leave to cool.
When they are cool make the icing.
In a small bowl place the sieved icing sugar and water and mix with a spatula until smooth.
Put the cookies on a cooling rack and drizzle the icing over the top.
Leave to set before serving.
