#14 Snickerdoodle

Sorry I fell behind, life got the better of me, I will try to catch up over this next weekend. My big sewing job will be over and I am hoping to have a very relaxing weekend.

. 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 4 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1 cup sugar, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended. Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer, and stir in remaining flour.

2. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

3. Combine the 4 tablespoons sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. Place balls of dough 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

4. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until edges are beautifully golden. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.

I ran out of cinnamon, well actually there was nutmeg in my cinnamon jar, so I had a little cinnamon and sugar, that I mixed with nutmeg and that is what I rulled the dough into. The dough was really sticky, so make sure you add just a little more flour to it before you put it in the fridge. They were so good!!!! Everyone loved them and the plate did not last long.
