Who doesn't like snickerdoodles -- a plain cookie rolled in cinnamon sugar? Lauren actually also loves me to make these and just roll them in sugar. I try and keep some unbaked in the freezer so that when she stops by I can bake them for her. What we mamas do to try and get some time with our adult kiddos! They are one cookie you can eat several without your tummy wishing you hadn't.
1-1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
2-3/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 t. cream of tartar
1 t. baking soda
½ t. table salt
2 TB sugar
2 t. cinnamon
Preheat oven at 400 degrees. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and set aside.
Cream together shortening and sugar with a mixer using a paddle attachment; add eggs and beat well. Sift together remaining dry ingredients and stir into batter.
Roll dough in small balls and roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. With 2 fingers gently flatten the ball. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. (I bake mine 8 minutes.) Seriously take them out before they look done and let them finish on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will be soft and oh so delicious and will stay fresher tasting longer than if they are totally done when you take them out of the oven.
