Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles is just one of those classic recipes that everyone needs in their recipe collection.

Just as trends in fashion, home decorating, and cars come and go, so do trends in cookies.  However, some cookie recipes have stood the test of time, becoming favorites generation after generation.  They become a part of our culture and become what I call classics.

Snickerdoodles have become a true classic for my family.  This will be a recipe, just like my Nestle Toll House Cookie Variations, that I will pass on to my children.

Ingredients for Snickerdoodles:

1 cup butter, room temperature

1 1/3 cups sugar

2 eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

1 recipe Cinnamon-Sugar Coating (see below)

Instructions for Snickerdoodles:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, sugar and eggs, until fluffy. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, mix until thoroughly blended.

Prepare one recipe of Cinnamon-Sugar Coating.

Shape dough into one inch balls.  Roll in Sugar-Cinnamon Coating, covering completely.

Place 2 1/2 inches apart on an ungreased baking cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes, or until golden.  Remove cookies from baking sheet; cool on cooling rack.
