Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ cups (815 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) ground cinnamon, divided
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) ground ginger
  • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) ground nutmeg
  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup (175 mL) vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups (440 mL) granulated sugar, divided
  • All-purpose flour, for dusting

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Step 2

    Stir flour, 2 tsp (10 mL) cinnamon, baking powder, ginger and nutmeg in a medium bowl until well combined.

  • Step 3

    Whisk eggs, oil, vanilla and 1 cup (250 mL) sugar in another bowl.

  • Step 4

    Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients to form soft dough. Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon in shallow bowl or pie plate.

  • Step 5

    Roll spoonfuls (about 1 tbsp/15 mL) of dough into 5-inch (12.5 cm) pencil shape on flour-dusted surface. Roll dough in cinnamon sugar, then roll up in spiral shape to form snail, leaving about a 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) straight section for neck and head. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets, at least 1-1/2-inches (4 cm) apart.

  • Step 6

    Bake in preheated 375°F (190°C) oven, one sheet at a time, for 12 to 14 minutes. Makes about 36 cookies.
