Snickerdoodle Cookies

I have really enjoyed spending time with my sister over the Christmas break! I don't get to see her often so it's been a real treat!  We decided to make snickerdoodle cookies since they are her favorite.

Snickerdoodle Cookies

1/2 c. butter (softened)
1/2 c. shortening
1 1/2 c. white sugar
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla
2 3/4 c. all purpose flour
2 t. cream of tartar
1 t. baking soda

2 T. sugar
2 T. cinnamon

Cream together butter, shortening, sugar, eggs, vanilla.  Combine the remaining ingredients and form dough into 1 inch balls.  Roll dough in sugar and cinnamon mixture, place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet.  Bake 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees until cookies are just set.  Remove from baking sheets immediately after they are done baking.  (Recipe from www.allrecipes.com)

Hope you enjoy these as much as my sister did!
