snickerdoodles.

It's a baking cookies kind of day here.

Snickerdoodles never fail to satisfy my craving for cookies.

RECIPE

1/2 C. butter

1/2 C. Crisco

1 1/2 C. sugar

2 eggs.

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix.

This is my favorite part of baking.

Using a recipe written by someone else!!

In their own handwriting!

This one was given to me by a Young Friend.

So SWEET.

These handwritten recipes never fail to

put those special people in my mind.

Add.

2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

2 2/3 C. Flour

You're supposed to sift these dry ingredients

together first.....

but I never do.

It turns out just fine.

When the cookie dough is ready.

You've got to taste it.....don't you?

YES.

mmmmm.....

Here's the fun part.

Mix 2 T. sugar and 1 t. cinnamon

Roll the little cookie balls in there.

Lick your fingers, of course.

Bake at 375 degrees

for 8 - 10 minutes.

Be careful.

Don't eat them all.
