Friday, May 22, 2009



Snickerdoodles- one of my favorite childhood memories was coming home from school and eating hot snickerdoodles right out of the oven with a cold glass of milk......

Mix together thoroughly....
1 cup shortening ( I use 1/2 cup real butter and 1/2 cup Crisco)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs

Sift together and stir in....
2 3/4 cup flour or GF mix
2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

*if making gluten free add 2 teaspoons xanthan gum and 1 extra egg

Chill dough. Roll into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Place about 2" apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake until slightly browned.400 degrees for 8-10 minutes....but still soft. (These cookies puff up at first....then flatten out with crinkled tops). Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
