Here is another one of our favorite cookie recipes. These cookies are great when dunked in a cup of coffee. I don't like coffee, but I like to eat these cookies dunked in it. Strange, I know.  Anyway, here is the recipe for Snickerdoodles.
Snickerdoodles
Sift the following dry ingredients together & set aside:
-
2 3/4 c. flour
-
1/2 tsp. salt
-
2 tsp. cream of tartar
-
1 tsp. baking soda
Mix the following ingredients together:
-
1 c. soft shortening
-
1 1/2 c. sugar
-
2 eggs
Add the dry mixture to this sugar mixture and stir in until a well-blended. Chill dough, covered for an hour or two. (I believe this is the most important step.) In a ziploc bag, combine a 1/3 c. of sugar with 2 tbsp. or more of cinnamon. Shake bag to combine well. Take dough out of frig. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Put in bag with cinnamon sugar and shake bag until ball is well-covered. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. With a fork, press dough down until it is no longer in a ball shape but somewhat flatter than it was. Bake in a 350° oven until lightly brown around the edges, (around 10 minutes.)
