I know you’re wondering what a baking emulsion is, right? It’s a flavor suspended in a base containing mostly water. Traditional baking extracts are flavors suspended in a base containing mostly alcohol. LorAnn Oils Bakery Emulsions are not compromised by the flavor of alcohol and don’t “bake-out” when exposed to heat like an extract flavor. You can use these anywhere you would a baking extract – in cakes, cookies, cheesecakes, frostings and more.
You use bakery emulsions just like you would a baking extract. 1 teaspoon bakery emulsion = 1 teaspoon extract. Today I’m taking my favorite Christmas Snickerdoodles to the next level by adding LorAnn Oils Bakery Emulsions Cinnamon Spice
Now here’s a quick time-saving tip about making Christmas cookies. This is a big batch of cookie dough, so I like to take half of the dough and freeze it for another time. Just spread the dough into a log on parchment paper, then roll up and twist the ends to secure. Slide it into a resealable bag and label it. During the month of December, I often make a large (or double) batch of cookies when I h ave a few minutes, and then freeze part of it. On Christmas Eve, I can pull it all out of the freezer and quickly make a variety of cookies for Santa without making a giant mess.
Christmas Snickerdoodles
Here’s how to make amazing Christmas Snickerdoodles:
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon Lorann Oils Bakery Emulsions Cinnamon Spice
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
For Topping
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Wilton Red Sugar
Wilton Green Sugar
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs in one at a time, beating in between. Mix in the Lorann Oils Bakery Emulsions Cinnamon Spice
Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix on low until combined.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
Using a medium cookie scoop for even portions, shape the dough into a ball, then roll in the topping mixture. Place on the prepared baking pan about 1-inch apart.
Sprinkle the top of each cookie with red or green sugar for a festive holiday look.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are crisp and the cookies and golden brown. Let set on the tray 1-2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack . Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

December 7, 2017 at 10:43 amMy passion is baking and my favorite flavor is lemon but I have to say, the Princess Cake & Cookie emulsion has got my curiosity piqued. Now, if I had my eldest son standing behind me, I would have to say his favorite flavor which is Blueberry emulsion.
