Snickerdoodles

I was going to take a picture of these delicious cookies but I left the kitchen for a few too many minutes and my husband gobbled them up. That's how good they are. Leave off the cinnamon and they are a wonderful sugar cookie. Step aside Otis Spunkmeyer!



Gammy's Snickerdoodles
1 c. butter
1 ½ c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 ½ c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
⅛ tsp. salt

Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt and mix well. Roll into 1 inch balls and roll around in sugar & cinnamon mix (4 tsp. cinnamon, 4 Tbsp. sugar). Place on greased baking sheet or parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 350ยบ for 6-8 minutes.
Gammy says, "You may need to add a little more flour. The uncooked balls need to hold together. The consistency of dough has to be just right. Too little flour will make them sloppy, too much and they'll be dry and heavy."
I love that Gammy! She's the best!
