Snickerdoodles

I have this recipe out (I am making cookies right now for preschool program night tomorrow) so I decided to post it. Snickerdoodles are one of the only kinds of cookies Sam will even think about eating, so naturally, they get made fairly frequently around our house.

Snickerdoodles (my mom's recipe)

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

2 TBSP. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs. Mix well. Add flour, cream of tartar, salt, and soda. Mix until well blended.

In small bowl combin 2 T. sugar with cinnamon.

Make tsp size cookies in ball. Roll in cinnamon/sugar mixture. Place on cookie sheet.

Bake at 400 for approx 8-9 minutes.

Makes about 4 dozen (although I usually make my cookies a little larger than that so then less than that!)
