Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar, plus 3 tablespoons
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.
With a handheld or standing mixer, beat together the shortening and butter. Add the 1 1/2 cups sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour mixture and blend until smooth.
Mix the 3 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the dough, by hand, into 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar. Flatten the balls into 1/2-inch thick disks, spacing them evenly on unlined cookie sheets. Bake until light brown, but still moist in the center, about 12 minutes. Cool on a rack.

I am glad I read the reviews before I made these. Anything with 5 stars gets my attention. This truly is a great recipe, however snickerdooles traditionally have Cream of Tartar in them. I added 1 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar and 1 teasoon of vanilla. They came out awesome. Only 4 stars due to the fact that I had to modify the recipe.

These cookies were so delicious!! Easy to make and fun with my 4 year old! He enjoyed rolling them out and patting them into disks. Finally found our favorite snickerdoodle! They certainly did not last in this house!
