White Chocolate-Filled Snickerdoodles
What you need:
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 24 white chocolate pieces (I used Ghirardelli white chocolate bars broken into pieces)
Directions:
- Beat together shortening, butter, eggs, vanilla, and sugar together.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together.
- Mix dry mixture into wet mixture until combined.
- Chill dough for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- After dough has chilled, mix 2 Tbsp. sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
- Scoop a tablespoon of dough and place a white chocolate piece on it and form the dough into a ball around it.
- Roll ball of dough in cinnamon sugar to coat it and place on a silicone mat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Be sure to space the dough out at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until edges are slightly golden.
- Let set on baking sheet for 3 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool.
