Cookies
I love to bake cookies year round, but I especially love them at Christmas time. Snickerdoodles are always a favorite.
Cream together:
1 cup butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
In another bowl, mix together:
2 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Combine all ingredients. Chill dough for one hour.
Mix together:
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
Roll chilled dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in cinnamon sugar mixture, covering completely. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
And be sure to go over to The Sparrow's Nest and check out Mrs. Wilt's Cyber Christmas Cookie Exchange.
We are snickerdoodler's too.....
ReplyDeleteAt Christmas I roll them in the fine green and red sprinkles mixed with white sugar...

What a great idea! I'll try that this week.
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought of snickerdoodles in years. Those sound so delicious. Do you think I could substitute margarine for the butter? My son is allergic to dairy but seems to tolerate baked goods with margarine.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to your day!
Mrs. Lavender,
ReplyDeleteYes margarine will work. The taste is slightly different of course, but I like them just as well.
Hope you enjoy them! :)
