These are the best snickerdoodle cookies! Passed down in the family, these cookies have become a staple for every occasion, and everywhere I go my friends always demand that I bring them. I truly don't mind though, as they are very simple and quick to make.
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) of margarine softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 2/3 cups flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 TBS sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the butter and the 1 1/2 cups of sugar in a mixer. Add the vanilla and eggs and continue to mix until well blended. In a separate bowl combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a fork or whisk. Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the butter mixture until consistently blended. In a separate small bowl combine the 2 TBS of sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough into approximately 1 inch balls and roll in the sugar/cinnamon mixture, coating all sides. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. (It will depend on your oven. The batch I just made I had to cook for 11 minutes) You want the centers to puff up a bit and the tops to look crackled. They are underdone if when you take them out the middles fall flat. Good luck! Hope you enjoy!
