The easiest things to make on a whim (or to make your home smell a little nicer after 3 days away) are snickerdoodles. I always have the core ingredients lying around and usually some leftover cinnamon sugar from the last time.
The recipe I have uses "mugs" as an arbitrary measurement. I think I've tried it with two different sized mugs now and ended up with a drier and a wetter dough. This time was drier and slightly easier to make into little balls at the end.
But first: butter and sugar are creamed together and a beaten egg with some vanilla extract is mixed in. You can basically add any flavouring you like here. I've used white chocolate, pumpkin, but this time was a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips! Then add the flour and nutmeg and beat into a smooth dough consistency. Roll into even balls (I usually use my tablespoon measure to make them about the right size) and roll each one into the plate of sugar and cinnamon mix. Bake for 10-15 mins until golden brown and voila!
Most of these were eaten before they had cooled. And not just by me ;)
