PERFECT SNICKERDOODLES

These cookies will melt in your mouth!  The sugar and cinnamon make them so tasty. A great holiday cookie for a gift or just anytime. Your friends and family will love these cookies!

3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
Mix butter, sugar, and eggs with mixer in a large bowl.  Add cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and vanilla and continue mixing.  Add flour and mix well. Put flour in refrigerator for about 20 minutes. In a smaller bowl mix the 3 tablespoons of sugar and the 3 teaspoons of cinnamon.   Remove flour and roll into balls with your hands about the size of a walnut.  Roll balls in cinnamon and sugar and place on an ungreased baking sheet.  Cook in preheated 350 degree oven 10 – 12 minutes.  Remove the cookies from the pan as soon as you take them from the oven.  Makes about 3 dozen cookies.  Enjoy!

  6. As a kid, we used to make them & instead of the cinnamon/sugar combo, we would roll them in red or green sugar. Instant Christmas cookies!!!!
