Snickerdoodles

A cookie that has a perfectly chewy texture and the perfect amount of cream of tartar for a little kick. I would dare say this is the best snickerdoodle recipe I've ever tried. They are my husband's FAVORITE cookie.

Ingredients:

1 C butter (you can do 1/2 shortening, 1/2 butter)
1 1/2 c sugar
2 large eggs
2 3/4 c flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp sugar + 3 tsp cinnamon (Do not add to dough)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.

Cream butter and sugar until smooth and fluffly. Add eggs, mix well. Mix the dry ingredients first and then add to the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar.

This dough works better if you chill it for about 30 minutes. I use a cookie scoop for these which holds about 2 tablespoons of dough. Roll the dough into a ball and then roll the ball of dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes at 350. Makes 24 cookies.
