Snickerdoodles
from my Grandmother

1 c soft shortening**
1½ c sugar
2 eggs
2¾ c flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
Mix together thoroughly shortening, sugar & eggs. Mix together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda & salt. Stir in first mixture. Chill dough Roll into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in a mixture of:
2 Tbl sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
Place ~2” apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 8 - 10 min until lightly browned but still soft (these cookies puff up first, then flatten with crinkled tops.) Yield ~5 dozen, 2” cookies.

[**NOTE: I have two other Snickerdoodle recipes (both local cookbooks) that are virtually the same - EXCEPT that they call for ½ c soft butter or margarine or shortening, instead of the full cup. No wonder my Grammy's were always the best!! ]

Oh - and then there's this recipe which I found online & tried a few years ago...but you really have to like Egg Nog to be tempted by these I guess.

Eggnog Snickerdoodles

2¼ c all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1½ c sugar
1 c butter, softened
½ tsp rum extract
½ tsp brandy extract
2 eggs
1 tsp nutmeg
¼ c colored (or plain) sugar

Heat oven to 400°F. In large mixer bowl, combine all cookie ingredients (except ¼ cup colored or plain sugar and nutmeg). Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Combine the ¼ cup colored sugar with the nutmeg; set aside. Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Remove.
