Grandma D'S Famous Snickerdoodles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

For Dough
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
For Rolling
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preparation

Heat oven to 400\u00b0F.
Mix together butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar and eggs.
Blend in flour, cream of tarter, baking soda and salt.
Shape the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into balls (I make the balls larger than that. The bigger the ball, the bigger your cookie.)
Mix the 2 teaspoons sugar and the 2 teaspoons cinnamon together.
Roll the balls in the sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Place the balls 2-3 inches apart (depending on size) on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until cookies are set.
Immediately remove from the baking sheet.
