Day #11 Snickerdoodle Cookies

I know it is not the season for snickerdoodle cookie yet, but today I remembered exactly why I love to bake!  I forgot how stress relieving baking cookies can be.  I haven't really baked much since my daughter has been born, its hard with two little ones but today I realized how much they enjoyed my baking.  Hopefully more recipes will turn up!  While browsing Pinterest I found a recipe for my all time FAVORITE cookies snickerdoodles, hope you enjoy!!

Snickerdoodle Cookies

 2 and ¾ cup of flour

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp cream of tartar

½ tsp salt

2 sticks of butter or 1 cup

1 ½ cups sugar

2 eggs

½ cup sugar & 2 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions:

1.       Prehead oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare cookie sheet by spraying a light layer of nonstick spray on it.  While oven is preheating whip softened butter & sugar until nice and creamy (remember to scrape the sides to get off any extra sugar and butter not yet blended, you may want to scrape the sides throughout the whole process).  Add eggs 1 at a time until nice and whipped together.

2.       Mix flour, cream of tartar & baking powder together in separate bowl.  Sift flour mixture into sugar mixture until all is completely mixed.  While the cookie dough is still mixing combine last ½ cup sugar with cinnamon in a small shallow bowl.

3.        When cookie dough is night and firm roll into a 1 to 1 ½ ball and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture until completely coated and lay out on prepared cookie sheet.  Space cookie dough balls about an inch to two inches apart from one another (like in my photo).  Bake for about 15 minutes.  My recipe made about 36 cookies.

ENJOY!
