Snickerdoodles..

When my son Matt was a teenager, his friend

Paul lived with us - whenever I made a

batch of these cookies, they would have

most of them eaten by the time I finished

baking the last batch and I always doubled

the recipe. They must have liked them!

Snickerdoodles

2 3/4 cup sifted flour

2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup margarine or butter

1 1/3 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/4 cup cinnamon

1/2 cup sugar

Sift together the first four ingredients and set aside.

Cream margarine or butter

and sugar; add eggs.

Gradually add dry ingredients.

Chill dough for one hour.

Roll into balls, then roll the balls into

the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Place about 2 inches apart on

an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 8 minutes

or until lightly browned.

Makes about 60 cookies.
