Snickerdoodles

I made these for Mark and he really liked them (reminded him of something Marilyn used to make).

ingredients

1/2 Cup butter (1 stick)
1/2 Cup shortening
1 Cup sugar
3/4 Cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 3/4 Cups flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbs white sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream together butter, shortening, 1 1/2 Cups sugar, eggs, vanilla. Blend in the flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. Shape dough by rounded spoonfuls into balls. Mix the 2 Tbs sugar and the cinnamon. Roll balls of dough in mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until set, but not too hard. Remove immediately from baking sheets.
