Snickerdoodles

I know there are many recipes out there for Snickerdoodles and I have tried my fair share but, this one is my all time favorite. I have had it memorized since I was 11 years old. Try it and it may become your favorite too!

Ingredients

1 C Shortening (I use butter instead)
2 Eggs beaten
1 1/2 C Sugar
2 3/4 C Flour
2 tsp Cream of Tartar
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt

Cream shortening and sugar. Add beaten eggs and mix. In a separate bowl mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and stir. Form dough into 2 inch balls and roll in cinnamon/sugar mixture. Preheat oven to 375 and bake 8-10 minutes.





If my cookie dough ever turns into actual cookies, I consider it a miracle. I love to eat the dough but to help cure my addiction I like to roll out all of the dough then freeze it so I can have hot and doughy cookies instead of raw egged dough. Once your dough is formed into balls, set them in a container or pan in one layer. Put the container in the freezer and leave for1 hour. After one hour your dough should be frozen enough to move to a ziplock bag to store. To bake the frozen dough I just bring out the desired amount then preheat the oven. By the time the oven is preheated, my dough is ready to be baked. Then you have as many (or as little) cookies as you want in ten minutes. Yum!
