Six in Seoul

Ahhh, the snickerdoodle cookie.  This is Girls favorite cookie by far.  She calls them cinnamon cookies.  She has loved this cookie for 2-3 years now, and considering she is only six, that is a long time!   I got this recipe from good ol' Betty Crocker herself.  

1 ½ cups sugar
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup shortening
2 eggs
2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
2 tsp cream of tarter
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Mix together first 4 ingredients.  Stir in flour, cream of tarter, baking soda and salt.  Shape into 1 ¼ inch balls.  

Mix ¼ cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon together, roll balls into the mixture.  Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 8-10 minutes or till set.  Cool.  (I like cooking them a little under baked, which is about 8 minutes in my oven)

This recipe makes about 40 cookies at about 90 calories per cookie.
