I just tried a new Snickerdoodle recipe that my Mom found for me on the internet (from North Pole recipes). She couldn't find my Grandmom's original recipe but thinks this one is pretty close. I'd have to say they are spot on! We are enjoying being snowed in and I will blog more about that tomorrow, for now here is the recipe if you'd like to try it!
Snickerdoodles
Ingredients
1 cup soft shortening (I used butter flavored Crisco, a suggestion from my Mom)
1 cup soft shortening (I used butter flavored Crisco, a suggestion from my Mom)
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoons salt (optional)
Directions
Combine shortening (margarine), sugar and eggs. Sift together and stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt (optional). Then chill dough for about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll into mixture of 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet (you can also use aluminum foil). Place in preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
