During the exploratory phase of trying to figure out what I was going to bring to a football viewing party a few weeks ago, I found a new cookie recipe. Excited to try a slight twist on the classic snickerdoodle, I gave it a go…the only problem is I’ve no clue which magazine I found it in! Which is one reason why it’s been relegated to the Outtakes.

The other reason it’s not getting the full treatment is due to my tastebud’s disappointment upon the first bite. Unfortunately, the slightly new slant to this recipe (the addition of ginger, cinnamon, and molasses) steamrolled over the cookie’s original hero ingredient — Cream of Tarter. Thereby making it into a generic, and frankly uninteresting, spiced cookie.

It definitely wouldn’t win an award at a village fete!
