Snickerdoodles

List of Ingredients






1/2 c margarine, softened
1/2 c shortening
1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 c flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon



Recipe





Preheat to 375.

Mix butter, shortening, 1 1/2 c sugar, and eggs. Mix well.
Blend in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
Chill dough at least 1 hour.

Mix the 2 tbsp sugar and cinnamon together.
Shape dough into balls - use a tsp for smaller cookies, tbsp for large cookies
Roll balls in cinnamon/sugar mix.
Place on cookie sheet. Flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar/cinnamon mixture.

As cookies bake, you may press down on them again if a very flat cookie is desired.

Bake about 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cookies will be light in color.

Makes 30 large cookies.

NOTES:
I like to mix some colored sugars (green and/or red) with the cinnamon/sugar mix to make the cookies festive
for Christmas.
