Surprise, surprise - I made something else that didn't involve leaving the house to retrieve additional ingredients - an abiding trend. Another direct descent from grandma's archives, these snickerdoodles boast the inherent satisfaction that one could only expect from something so simple and timeless. This recipe yields a shit ton of cookies but, as you can easily see, they go fast. Mix:
1 c. shortening (Crisco)
1-1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
Sift and stir in:
2-3/4 c. flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Roll into walnut-sized balls and then in cinnamon and sugar, and then place on greased cookie sheet. Use index and middle finger to indent balls of dough pressing down slightly.
Bake at 350 degrees for typical cookie length of time - maybe 12 minutes or so. They key with these is to somewhat under-cook them so they remain chewy even after they have cooled.
