Faith doesn't like chocolate chip cookies. I didn't know that was possible. Anyway, we make a lot of snickerdoodles around here because we have picky cookie eaters. I love this recipe because there is no shortening.
2 1/2 cups flour plus 2 teaspoons
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks of butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
For the coating:
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium speed beat the butter, sugar and vanilla together until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. (Or use a stand mixer.)Reduce to low and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then add the flour dry ingredients that you have already stirred together. Add in three parts. Here the recipe says to refrigerate the dough, but I never do. I just add flour a teaspoon at a time until it isn't quite so sticky. I think the extra four makes for a better cookie anyway. Mix together cinnamon and sugar coating. Preheat your oven to 400 F. Shape heaping tablespoons of cookie dough into balls. Roll it in the cinnamon-sugar and bake on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes.
