I came up with this recipe by combining 3 family-favorite cookie recipes into one delicious amazing cookie. It's a soft cookie with a cake-like texture. The taste is unique, and when I sell them at bake sales, they sell out immediately!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Cake-like in the center and slightly crisp around the edges, these cakerdoodle cookies are divine. They're just sweet enough and filled with nutmeg and cinnamon flavor. It may seem like a lot of nutmeg, but it works in this cookie. Once baked, the cinnamon and sugar topping is a little crunchy and a nice contrast to the soft and chewy cookie. Easy to make, these are perfect for a bake sale or serving a crowd.

How To Make cakerdoodle cookies

Test Kitchen Tips

Make sure the shortening, butter, and eggs are creamed very well before adding the flour and buttermilk. If you don't like nutmeg, replace it with cinnamon.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease cookie sheets.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and 2 cups of sugar until smooth. Stir in the eggs, one at a time.
Step 3

Then add the vanilla.
Step 4

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cream of tartar in a separate bowl.
Step 5

Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture a little at a time.
Step 6

Alternating flour mixture and buttermilk until all is well blended.
Step 7

Mix 1/4 c sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl.
Step 8

Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop dough onto cookie sheets about 3 inches apart. Then sprinkle, generously, the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the dough.
Step 9

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges begin to turn golden. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks. When cool store in an airtight container.
