Name: Dad'S Favorite Snickerdoodles
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups sugar; 1/2 cup margarine (I usually use Imperial); 1/2 cup shortening (Crisco); 2 eggs; 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (omit cream of tartar,salt and baking soda if using self rising flour); 2 teaspoons cream of tartar; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 2 tablespoons vanilla; 2 tablespoons sugar (approx to roll balls in); 1 tablespoon cinnamon (to mix with sugar topping)

Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup margarine (I usually use Imperial)
1/2 cup shortening (Crisco)
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (omit cream of tartar,salt and baking soda if using self rising flour)
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar (approx to roll balls in)
1 tablespoon cinnamon (to mix with sugar topping)

1
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2
In small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for topping mix. Set aside.
3
In large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, the margarine, shortening, vanilla and eggs. I find the texture of the cookies best if I stick to this margarine/shortening ratio.
4
Sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
5
Mix thoroughly into wet mixture (eggs/butter, etc).
6
Shape into balls- I usually make a heaping teaspoonful-depends on your preference.
7
Roll tops of balls into sugar/cinnamon mixture to coat.
8
Place approximately 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes until set.
9
Remove cookies immediately from sheet to rack to cool.
10
TIP- I find best results also when I refrigerate the dough/balls between batches until they are baked. This keeps them from spreading out as much.

ENJOY! ;).
