Snickerdoodle Cookies

Nothing is as yummy as a good Snickerdoodle!  A nice crisp cinnamon sugar cookie always makes me smile.  Here is the recipe I used -

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2  tsp vanilla
2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp

1.  Preheat oven to 400 F.
2.  Soften the butter and shortening.
3.  Cream the butter, shortening, sugar, eggs and vanilla with mixer.
4.  Add in the remaining ingredients and mix.
5.  In a small bowl, stir together 2 teaspoons of cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of sugar.  This will be used to roll the cookies in.
6.  Shape the cookie dough into balls and then roll into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
7.  Bake on ungreased pans, 2 inches apart, for 8 - 10 minutes.
