Snickerdoodles!

I am a cupcake person. It is no secret that I love me some cupcakes. But, you might not know that I am also a cookie person. Specifically a snickerdoodle cookie person. I don't like chocolate in my cookies, but I do love Cinnamon and sugar. What is your favorite cookie recipe?

Here is the recipe I love:

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

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. 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.
3. Mix the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon. Roll balls of dough in mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until set but not too hard. Remove immediately from baking sheets.

I have made these at home and they turned out delicious. Take them off the baking sheets quickly thought because otherwise they get a little too crispy. Serve them at breakfast with OJ as an after dinner treat!

ENJOY!
