Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodle - what a fun word! You know what else is fun about snickerdoodles? Eating them! Oh yeah...

They are a childhood classic, and for good reasons too. They are quick and easy to throw together, the kids can help roll the dough in cinna-sugar, and they taste down right scrumptious. I'd say that last one is reason enough to make some ASAP, ha ha!

Makes about 3 dozen

1 1/2 cups sugar (or honey sucanat)

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

2 eggs

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or 13 oz. Soft White wheat flour)

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sugar (or honey sucanat)

2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400°.

In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups sugar, butter, and eggs. In a separate bowl stir together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture and stir until just combined.

In a small bowl stir together 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough into 1 1/4-inch balls, and toss in sugar mixture. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.

Bake until set, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!
