A friend gave me this recipe years ago and now it is a favorite of my grandsons. I often make snickerdoodles to take to the pool in the summer because the cinnamon coating keeps the ants away.
1/2 c softened butter
1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c shortening
2 3/4 c flour
1 t baking soda
2 t cream of tartar
1/4 t salt
In a large mixing bowl, mix butter, sugar, eggs and shortening. Blend in flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Shape dough by rounded teaspoons into balls.
Mix 2 T sugar and 2 t cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll balls in mixture and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove immediately and cool on rack. Makes 6 dozen.
