Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles are a wonderfully simple American sugar cookie - a lovely little afternoon snack.  Incredibly easy to put together and the kids love to get involved and do the rolling.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 tsp baking / bread soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

For the topping:

• 3 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.  

Cream sugar and butter, beat in eggs.  Whisk dry ingredients together and beat into butter mixture.  Beat on low speed until combined. 

Mix cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl.  Roll dough into one inch balls and roll in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.  

Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
