Christmas is in two days! Today is the second day in a row I suffered a "sugar crash" mid-morning. My co-worker, Lynda, has brought in snickerdoodles to work since last week. I tried one and now I'm addicted. Lynda brought more in yesterday; I must have had 6 cookies! These sumptuous cookies are loaded with sugar! They're perfect with hot coffee on cold mornings. In the meantime, my sister also baked up a batch of sugar cookies, so I have been eating those, too! No wonder for the sugar crash! Here's Lynda's snickerdoodles recipe:
1/2 c butter
1/2 c shortening
1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 c flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Cream together butter, shortening, sugar, and eggs. Blend in dry ingredients. Shape into balls and roll in 2 tbsp sugar & 2 tsp cinammon (you might need a bit more, though, to cover all cookies). Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet (or parchment paper). Bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Enjoy & don't crash! LOL!!
