Ingredients:
2 2/3 cups flour
1 ½ tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 or less tsp. salt
½ cup butter
½ cup shortening (I'm sure you could substitute this for butter if you're not a shortening-eater)
1 ½ cups sugar
2 large eggs
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Mix shortening, butter, sugar and eggs. Add soda, salt and cream of tartar. Mix together well. Add flour 1/3 cup at a time. Roll into small balls (about the size of a shooter marble - like an inch in diameter). Roll in cinnamon sugar. Flatten slightly with bottom of a glass. Bake for about 7-10 minutes (but watch them - you don't want them to really be brown, just barely golden at the edges). Makes over 60 cookies.
Notes:
Last night I got the hankering for something sweet and I had just bought some cream of tartar this weekend with the hopes of using it for snickerdoodles sometime soon. Turns out, a chilly Sunday evening in December is a perfect time to make snickerdoodles. We inhaled these warm out of the oven with a mug of milk. Mmmm-hmmm. So delish! Why do I only ever make snickerdoodles around Christmastime? Hmm.
