Following is my saintly Ma's recipe for Snickerdoodles.
Preheat oven to 375.
Sift together:
2-3/4 C flour
2 tsp cream of tartar [or equivalent baking powder or other substitute]
1/2 tsp salt
Cream together:
1 C shortening*
1-1/2 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Add 2 eggs
Add dry ingredients to wet.
Roll into round balls; roll in a mixture of:
2 T sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
Place on cookie sheet 2" apart.
Bake at 375 degree, 8-10 minutes.
Makes 3 dozen
*I no longer have, or have misplaced, the 3x5 index card with the recipe written in her hand. I'm pretty sure she used Crisco shortening. Some people use butter. Either works.
Take care,
