I must have been on a cinnamon-and-sugar kick, because I had a hankering for Snickerdoodles after I made the Feather-light Muffins for breakfast! I had to look up a recipe for these, since I had never made them before.
Cooking time: 10-12 minutes
Makes: 2-1/2 dozen
1/2 c. butter, softened
1c. + 2 T. sugar, divided
1 egg
1/2 t. pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 c. flour
1/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. cream of tartar
1 t. ground cinnamon
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Bean in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a small bowl; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. In another small bowl, combine cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar.
2. Shape dough into 1″ balls; roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2″ apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 375F/190C or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
