Snickerdoodles

I cannot count how many times I have made these cookies! A family favorite!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 2/3 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Cream the butter and shortening. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla.

Sift flour, cream of tarter, baking soda and salt. Add to the creamed mixture and mix well.

Roll the dough into 2 inch balls and then roll in a mixture of 4 tablespoon sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. The dough can be sticky. Sometimes I will put in the refrigerator to stiffen up. 

Set on an un-greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake in a pre-heated 400-degree oven for 8-10 minutes. The cookies puff up and that is when you remove from the oven. Allow to cool a minute before transfering to a cooling rack.
