Easy Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe: A Classic Favorite

Ingredients

• 1 cup shortening
• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 2 eggs eggs
• 2.75 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your cookie sheets to prevent sticking.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
3. In a small, shallow bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon. Roll the cookie dough into walnut-sized balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
