Snickerdoodles

Ingredients:

1/2 c. butter, softened
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar

Topping...

2 T. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars with an electric
mixer on
high speed. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. In another
bowl,
combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Pour the
dry
ingredients into the wet and mix well. Preheat oven to 300 degrees
while you
let the dough rest for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator. In a small
bowl
combine the sugar and cinnamon for topping. Take about 2 and 1/2
tablespoons
of the dough and roll it into a ball. Roll this dough into the
cinnamon/sugar mixture and press it onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Repeat
for remaining cookies. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes. The cookies
may
seem undercooked, but will continue to develop after removed from the
oven.
When the cookies have cooled, they should be soft and chewy in the
middle.
Makes 16-18 cookies.
