I love snickerdoodles!!! Normally my family only makes them during the Christmas season, but I love to enjoy them all year long! So here is my recipe, the cookies come out chewy and just a light golden brown on the bottom!
Ingredients::
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions::
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cream together butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, the eggs and the vanilla. Blend in the flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. Shape dough by rounded spoonfuls into balls.
- Mix the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon. Roll balls of dough in mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake 8 or until set but not too hard. Remove immediately from baking sheets onto cooling racks.
Store them in an airtight container and enjoy!!!
