Snickerdoodles

This recipe was one that my late father created; according to my mom, he took a bunch of recipes for snickerdoodles and combined them to arrive at this one :)

Ingredients:
2 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 c. butter flavored Crisco
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 medium eggs (if you have large, just add all but a little bit of the white of each one)

sugar and cinnamon blend for dusting/coating

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
3. Place Crisco and sugar in bowl for electric mixer and cream together:

4. Add eggs and mix on medium until well-combined:

5. With mixer on low, slowly add dry ingredients mixture as mixer continues running:

6. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl (sorry, do not know exact or even estimate amounts--I just know it looks like light colored sand when they are properly mixed).
7. Form small balls and roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat all over:

8. Place balls on cookie sheet (I used non-stick):

9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes.  Cool on sheet for around a 1-2 minutes after removing from oven, then transfer to cooling rack:

10. Enjoy!
