Snickerdoodles

These are an all time favorite in this family. The kids love to do the cinnamon and sugar dusting.

Ingredients:
1/2 c margarine or butter
1 1/2 c flour
1 c sugar
1 egg
1/2 t vanilla
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t cream of tartar

Directions:
Thoroughly beat together ingredients. Cover and chill dough one hour (or as long as you have patience for. We let it go about 15 min.)
Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Combine 1 t cinnamon and 2 T sugar in a small bowl. Roll balls in it. Place on cookie sheet and bake 10 min at 375 degrees.

This should make about 36 cookies, but if your two year old opens the fridge and allows your one year old access to the bowl of dough, which is then played in and partially dumped on the floor, you will only end up with about fourteen. (Which is probably just the right amount for us because they will all be gone before bedtime regardless of the number cooked.)
