Snickerdoodles:

I found this recipe in a little paper pamphlet of cookie recipes that floats around the cookbook shelf. I believe it can also be found on allrecipes.com. It’s called Mrs. Sigg’s Snickerdoodles in the book.

Recipe  –  Notes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 C (one stick) Butter
• 1/2 C Shortening (I used coconut oil)
• 1 1/2 C Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tsp. Vanilla extract
• 2 3/4 C All-purpose flour
• 2 tsp. Cream of tartar
• 1 tsp. Baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. Salt

For rolling:

• 2 T. sugar (or coloful sugar)
• 2 T. Cinnamon

Instructions:

(I find a metal tablespoon is the easiest to stir the dough)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add flour, cream of tartar, soda, and salt. In another bowl mix 2 T. sugar and 2T. cinnamon toghether. Shape dough into about 1-inch balls and roll in sugar mixture. Place cookies 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes but only till they’re stet, not too hard that they’ll get crunchy. Place cookies on rack as soon as they’re out of the oven to cool. Makes 5 dozen!:)

Tip for refreshing cookies that get hard:

Place a piece of good bread (we only use our home made) in the bag or container that you are storing your cookies in. In a few hours they will be soft again!!!
