Snickerdoodles

When my funds are low and I need a sweet for friends who are coming over or just to have something to soothe my sweet tooth, I make a batch of snickerdoodles.

 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 medium egg
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1-2/3 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons white sugar mixed with 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add the egg and mix well. Add all the other dry ingredients(except for the sugar mixed with cinnamon--add this to a bowl all by itself) until everything is combined.

Shape the dough into balls the size of a walnut, or an egg yolk. Roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place the coated balls on an oiled cookie sheet. Using the bottom of a smooth cup or glass, press the dough down to flatten the cookies slightly. Bake them at 400° for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!
