Snickerdoodles

1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
Cream very well. 3-4 minutes

Add
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Cream a bit more

Add
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. baking powder
Mix a bit more

Add
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 ¾ cup flour

Mix until incorporated. (Don’t over mix this)
Mixture should look like loose crumbs.
It will mold into a ball as you form the cookie with your hands.

Roll rounded teaspoons of dough into balls and then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. These need to cool on the cookie sheet.
Makes 32 cookies.

Just made 150 of these for a cooking class. If you will add the cinnamon with your flour at the very end, it will keep your cookies from turning too brown from mixing. I changed the recipe from 2 tsp. cinnamon to 1 because I was worried about the dough, but, I realized, if you mix it right at the end, you will be just fine. I am liking this recipe more and more. Sheer perfection!
Something different about this cookie is there is cinnamon inside the dough, not just on top. It adds a flavor boost. It is also not a flat cookie. I despise flat cookies. You will love this dessert.
A snickerdoodle should not be overbaked.
