What's better than a good Snickerdoodle cookie? This great recipe results in tasty cookies that are just the right blend of crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Best of all, they bake well at 5000 feet! Definitely one of our favorite non-chocolate drop cookies.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 large eggs
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, the butter, shortening, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed (or mix by hand). Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. In a small bowl, mix together the 3 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. Rotate pan mid-way through for even baking. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

This is snazzy. Also, you should include a short description of what the recipe makes...ie cookies, hot dish, etc.
ReplyDeletePlanning on it... and the recipes are supposed to be in categories, except I usually forget to do that. But after I fix it, you should be able to click on a category and bring up all those recipes. And I finally figured out how to edit posts. :-)
