Snickerdoodles

Oh Happy Day! 

School's out for the summer!  I am so excited to have the kids home.  I'm looking forward to spending some time together as a family.  (In between wrestling, soccer and cross country camps of course.) 





If you're looking for an end of the year gift for your child's teacher, consider baking a batch of homemade cookies.  As a former teacher, I can tell you that the gifts that my students help make, meant the most to me.  I got a lot of really nice presents but it was always nice to get a homemade gift and of course cookies were always appreciated. 

Snickerdoodles
½ cup butter                                 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
½ cup shortening                         1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups sugar                             ¼ teaspoon salt
2 eggs                                           2 Tablespoons sugar
2 ¾ cups flour                              2 teaspoons cinnamon

Cream butter, shortening and 1 ½ cups sugar.  Add eggs.  Blend in flour, cream of tartar, salt and baking soda. 

Shape dough into balls.

Mix 2 T. sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.  Roll balls in cinnamon sugar.

Place 2” apart on baking sheet and flatten slightly with fingers.

Bake 8-10 minutes at 400. 

 

Snickerdoodles and milk - what a great way to start the summer.

Ciao!
