Snickerdoodles

These are like sugar cookies rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking. They're so easy and absolutely delicious. The recipe is from Betty Crocker's cookbook.

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 large eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

(You can use self-rising flour, which I did, but be sure to leave out the cream of tartar, baking soda and salt)

1. Heat oven to 400 F

2. In a large bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, the butter, shortening and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.

3. Shape the dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Roll balls in cinnamon sugar mixture then place on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.

4. Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
