Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 medium eggs
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar and the eggs and mix thoroughly with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, and stir into the shortening mixture.
- In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon.
- Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (1 tablespoon per ball), and roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar. Arrange the dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake two sheets at a time until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still soft, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Transfer the cookies to wire racks for cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Store in an airtight container.

I think they are amazing. Snickerdoodles are my favorite and these are so good. My friend likes them very much too. I have made these for many years for my family. It is so easy and delicious. YIPPEE!!!
Very good. Hope my wife likes them. Doesn’t matter much if I do they are for her but I thought they tasted very good. Makes ALOT of cookies.
Perfection. It’s the perfect snickerdoodle.
delicious cookies! they are perfect!
This is a very easy recipe to whip up. The cookie is a bit too sweet for me, so the next batch I will sprinkle a bit of kosher salt to balance it out. The recipe only yielded 3 dozen cookies even though I used the appropriate sized ice cream scoop.
These cookies were very good! I wish they had a bit more cinnamon flavor but my family thought they were great!
After adding two teaspoons of vanilla, the flavor was there. However, even after refrigerating dough a few hours these came out very flat and were hard to get off the cookie sheet.
I added 1t vanilla and some cinnamon to the dough. I also chilled the dough and this made it much easier to roll into balls and roll in the cinnamon sugar. They came out delicious!
Easy to make and delicious!
could use a little kosher salt on top in my opinion but super easy and super yummy
