Snickerdoodles

These are my all time favorite cookies.  When I make them, I may just eat them all myself.  Lucky for me, Bob doesn’t care for Snickerdoodles!  This recipe is from Betty Crocker.

Ingredients

 

2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 cup softened unsalted butter or shortening
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¾ cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar

Instructions

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.  Set aside.

Cream shortening or softened butter; gradually add sugar, beating well.  Add eggs; beat well.  Stir in vanilla.

Sift flour, soda, salt and cream of tartar in a medium mixing bowl.  Add to creamed mixture; mix well.

Shape dough into 1” ball and roll in cinnamon mixture.  Place 2” apart on lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove to wire racks to cool.

Yield:  4 dozen
