Snickerdoodle Cookies

Makes 36 cookies

2-2/3 cups unbleached flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon table salt

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 cup unsalted butter, soften at room temperature

1-3/4 cup sugar

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Pre-heat oven to 350 Degrees F. Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt and cream of tartar to blend in a medium bowl.

Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1-1/2 cups of sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.

Scrape bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the eggs until thoroughly combined. Scrape the bowl again.

With the mixer on low speed, blend in the flour until incorporated.

In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.

Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons into the cinnamon sugar and roll around to coat.

Set the cookies about three inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown on the edges and slightly soft in the middle.

Have not tried this yet, wanted to post the recipe

for my to try list.

 
Cream of tartar is used to stablize egg white foams. Combined with...>

baking soda it makes baking powder.

It is also used to give a creamier texture to sugary things like candy and frosting.

 
I'm making up a batch tonight, for no better reason than it will make the house smell like fall.
