These are my absolute favorite cookies. You will want to experiment a little with the cooking time. They will be just lightly golden with a firm but chewy (not crisp or crunchy) texture. The flavor is EXQUISITE.
SNICKERDOODLES
½ cup each butter and shortening (or marg), at room temperature
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
Beat butter, shortening, sugar and eggs together until creamy. Add cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, then blend. Add flour and mix well. Chilling overnight is preferred; otherwise at least two hours
Topping:
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Combine topping ingredients in small, shallow bowl. After chilling, shape dough into balls about 1 ½ inches in diameter. Drop dough balls into topping mixture and coat well, leaving a small area bare to place against the cookie sheet. This avoids burning the sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake in a 375°F degree oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand one minute and remove to cooling racks.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
