Snickerdoodle Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 C. butter or margarine softened
- 1 1/2 C. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 3/4 C. all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. cream of tarter
- 1/2 C. sugar with 2 tsp. cinnamon stirred in
Directions
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Mix all dry ingredients together and add them to the egg mixture 1/3 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Cookie dough will be soft and sticky. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. Shape the dough into small balls (the size of a large marble) and roll them in cinnamon sugar. Place them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and flatten them slightly. Cookies will spread out as they bake. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges, but still soft. Remove from cookie sheet immediately as the cookies will stick if allowed to cool on cookie sheet.
Yield: 6 dozen cookies
