Snickerdoodles


Another favorite from Grandma 'Olas cookbook:



I've never actually made the above recipe.  Here is the recipe I actually use, especially because I don't have to chill the dough.  Me want cookie now!

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Heat oven to 400 deg.  Mix 1 1/2 cups sugar, margarine, shortening and eggs.  Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.  Shape into 1 1/4-inch balls.
Mix 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon.  Roll balls in mixture.  Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set; cool. 

About 4 dozen cookies; 90 calories per cookie
