yield 9 dozen

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 - eggs
2 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

How To Make snickerdoodles

Step 1

Gradually stir into creamed mixture

Step 2

Cream shortening, softened butter and sugar.
Step 3

Add eggs and beat well
Step 4

Sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt
Step 5

Chill dough at this point.
Step 6

I form the balls with a slightly rounded measuring teaspoon because I prefer nibbble size cookies. 1/2 tablespoon makes medium size cookies...your choice
Step 7

Roll each ball in a mixture of 2 Tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Again I do this to my own preference cuz I love cinnamon. I also place this is a plastic bag and roll 8-10 at a time.
Step 8

I bake my cookies on parchment paper - saves clean up. I cool the cookies on the cookie sheet on a rack.
Step 9

Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes. They will be soft when you remove them but will crisp up quickly.
Step 10

My result with the bite size is I end up with 9 dozen cookies....the more to share!
