ON THE 6TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME: Sweet SnickerdoodlesThese are one of my favorite cookies! Sweet and chewy with just a hint of spice, Snickerdoodles are the one cookie I think about when I think of Christmas, maybe it's the scent of the cinnamon and sugar together that makes me think of Mr.Clause singing a merry melody while she bakes up a batch of these delicious cookies for Santa to take with him on his long ride around the world on the 24th.
Ingredients 1/2 cup salted butter, softened 1/2 cup vegetable shortening 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar 2 medium eggs 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon fine salt 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar and the eggs and mix thoroughly with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, and stir into the shortening mixture. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon. Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (1 tablespoon per ball), and roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar. Arrange the dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake two sheets at a time until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still soft, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Transfer the cookies to wire racks for cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Store in an airtight container. THANKS TO The Food Network for this wonderful recipe!
