There is nothing like a warm spicy cookie and these Snickerdoodles are a great sweet winter treat.
I got the recipe out of this great new cookbook I received as a gift – the Betty Crocker Christmas Cookbook. This book is packed with great ideas and I can’t wait to try them all!
I loved these cookies dipped in milk or even hot chocolate!
What you’ll need:
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Butter or Margarine, softened
1/2 cup Shortening
2 Eggs
2 3/4 cups of All Purpose Flour
2 tsp Cream of Tartar
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Sugar
1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
Heat oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, beat butter, shortening, eggs and 1 1/2 cups of sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls and roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack to cool.
Make these soon for a fun after school/work snack!
