I pretty much followed this one to the T: Snickerdoodles Recipe : Gale Gand : Food Network
I think if I were to do it again I’d probably use a bit more cinnamon than they recommend in both the cookies themselves and the topping. They’re a little on the pale side for what I think of as Snickerdoodles, but they get the cracked top and crusty feel and friends say they’re tasty. – Wodin
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 medium eggs
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar and the eggs and mix thoroughly with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, and stir into the shortening mixture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon.
Step 4
Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (1 tablespoon per ball), and roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar. Arrange the dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake two sheets at a time until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still soft, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Transfer the cookies to wire racks for cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Store in an airtight container.
