SNICKER DOODLES
A favorite for fall, or any time of the year!
Kids especially enjoy getting messy
and producing delicious cookies at the same time!
1 cup butter or other soft shortening
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tarter
2 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
In a large mixing bowl, soften the butter, add sugar, and cream together. Add the
eggs, then add the vanilla, beating until well mixed. In a separate bowl, mix or sift together the flour,
salt, baking soda and cream or tarter. Dump half of the flour mixture into the egg
mixture. Stir together. Add rest of flour mixture, stirring until the batter is sticky
and light yellow. Mixture will be very stiff. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at
least one hour (may be made days ahead and refrigerated). Mix the sugar and
cinnamon in a small dish.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Take scoops of the cookie dough about the size of
a walnuts and roll them into balls. Roll the balls in the cinnamon-sugar until
coated, and place on baking sheet about two inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes,
until the edges begin to brown. Cookies will flatten out and crackle on the top.
Do not overcook!
It's hard to resist these cookies warm from the oven!! So go ahead, snicker, and enjoy!!!
