By mpmcgonagle

Snickerdoodle cookies are so soft and sweet. These cookies are so good they will have you coming back for more.

Ingredients

• 1 cup soft shortening
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 3/4 cups gold medal flour
• 2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Mix shortening, sugar and eggs thoroughly.

Measure flour by sifting. Blend all dry ingredients; gradually add flour mixture; mix well.

Heat oven to 400˚F.

Roll into balls the size of walnuts. Roll in mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoon cinnamon.

At Christmas time I use 2 tablespoons of colored sugar with 2 teaspoon cinnamon.

Place 2” apart on ungreased baking sheet.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes. These cookies puff up at first, then flatten out.
