Snickerdoodles



If Cookie Monster were reincarnated into human form, he would look just like me. I love cookies! So I have discovered yet another delicious recipe.
Snickerdoodle
1/2 C butter, softened
1/2 C shortening
1 1/2 C white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 3/4 C all purpose flour
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 T white sugar
2 tsp cinammon
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Cream together butter, shortening, sugar, eggs and the vanilla. Blend in the flour, lemon juice, baking soda and salt. Shape dough by rounded spoonfuls into balls.
3. Mix the 2 T sugar and the cinammon. Roll balls of dough in the mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cooking sheet.
4. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until set but not too hard. Remove immediately from baking sheets.
