LAist Cookie Exchange: Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles

1 cup butter, Spectrum shortening, or any non trans fat
1 1/2 cups raw sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups unbleached flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Cream butter, sugar, eggs. Sift together (twice) flour, cream of tartar, baking soda. Add to butter mixture. Drop cookies on ungreased baking sheet. Mix 2 Tablespoons sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon and sprinkle on top each cookie. Bake 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't recall how many cookies this makes, but it must have been a lot, because I always halved this recipe.
