Ahhh, the snickerdoodle cookie. This is Girls favorite cookie by far. She calls them cinnamon cookies. She has loved this cookie for 2-3 years now, and considering she is only six, that is a long time! I got this recipe from good ol' Betty Crocker herself.
1 ½ cups sugar
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup shortening
2 eggs
2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
2 tsp cream of tarter
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix together first 4 ingredients. Stir in flour, cream of tarter, baking soda and salt. Shape into 1 ¼ inch balls.
Mix ¼ cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon together, roll balls into the mixture. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or till set. Cool. (I like cooking them a little under baked, which is about 8 minutes in my oven)
This recipe makes about 40 cookies at about 90 calories per cookie.
