Snickerdoodles

Makes 3-1/2 dozen.

A cookie jar classic. A cinnamon-y, sugary treat that warms your heart.

1 c. margarine, softened

1-1/2 c. sugar

2 eggs

2-3/4 c. flour

2 t. cream of tarter

1 t. baking soda

1/4 t. salt

1/4 c. sugar

1 T. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cream margarine and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time and beat well. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cream of tarter, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to mixing bowl.

Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Roll dough balls and coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Bake for 8-9 minutes. After taking them out of the oven, immediately remove cookies from baking sheet and transfer to a cooling rack.

A Note From The Little Lady: If you find that your dough balls aren't holding their shape, try chilling your dough first. Also, if you don't have cream of tarter on hand, substitute with 2 t. white vinegar. You won't notice the difference.
