Today, I felt like doing some baking one of my favorite cookies are snickerdoodles and believe me I have pinned every snickerdoodle recipe from brownie's to bread and back to cookies.  Like I've said before I don't do much baking but, am trying to fix that this recipe comes from www.rachelschultz.com .  Just the pictures she shows will make your mouth water......


                                                                    Perfect Snickerdoodles

1 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
2/3 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cream of tarter
1 tsp. baking soda
2 Tbls. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 300.  Combine butter, brown sugar, eggs, 1 c. sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until creamy.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, cream of tarter, and baking soda.  Slowly add dry ingredients to butter mixture until soft dough forms.
Shape into 2-inch balls.
In a small bowl combine 2 Tbls. sugar and the cinnamon.  Press balls into cinnamon sugar and flatten slightly.
Arrange on baking sheet and bake for only 12-14 minutes.
The cookies may seem undercooked, but do not bake longer.  Once cooled thoroughly, they will form into a perfect consistency.



I'm not for sure what I did wrong since the cookies aren't puffy like they are supposed to be that being said these cookies were so darn good I ate four of them right out of the oven.  I say if the cookie dough is delicious before they are even baked you scored big time.  Yes, I did eat alot of the dough:) I will be trying these again only to see if they will be puffy.  They were even moist the next day !!!!! Enjoy.
