Snickerdoodles

Ingredients

• 1 cup shortening (2 sticks butter or margarine)
• 1 1/3 cup white sugar plus 3 tablespoons for coating
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

Cream together shortening and white sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking power, and salt.

Chill batter in fridge for at least 2 hours. Once chilled, roll batter into 1″ balls. Mix together remaining sugar and cinnamon, then roll each ball to coat. Place 1″ apart on baking sheets.

Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. (Do not over-bake! These cookies do not seem to brown because of the cinnamon coating, but they are done in 10-12 minutes.)
