Snickerdoodles

 


The secret ingredient is cinnamon chips. Don't you think?!


1/2 c. butter, softened

1/2 c. shortening

1 1/2 c. white sugar

2 eggs, room temperature

2 tsp. vanilla extract

Blend the above ingredients with a mixer until the lumps are gone and it's fluffy.


2 3/4 c. flour

2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1 c. cinnamon chips

Whisk the above ingredients in a separate bowl from the butter/sugar mixture, then add to the sugar/butter mixture all at once.  Stir together with wooden spoon until just combined.


3 Tbsp. white sugar

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Combine these two ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup, then pour it onto a plate. Roll dough into balls and then roll the ball in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Place the balls of dough two inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet (or use parchment paper).

Bake in a 400-degree oven for eight minutes. Be careful not to overbake, unless you really like crumb-y cookies.
