Snickerdoodles

Now, this is a long name for cookies, isn't it?
When my kids were trying to tell me what cookies they ate in school and how yummy they were I couldn't understand it and thought this is not a cookie name! I sat down and searched in the net for names my kids were telling me: sickeroodles, snikernoodle and so many other combinations they could think about to come up with the right name....Well, thanks to Google we figured it out:  Snikerdoodles!
After trying  many recipes I combined the ingredients of 3 recipes I wrote down on a paper and managed to make The Cookies they had tried and liked.
So, here is my version of the Snickerdoodels ( In case you have no idea what they are , they are like sugar cookies rolled in cinnamon and baked to perfection)

Ingredients:

Dough:
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 small eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
a pinch of salt
2 3/4 flour

Cinnamon sugar:
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoon sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
Butter a baking sheet or foil to bake the cookies on it.
Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and vanilla extract.
Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cream of tartar.
Add the eggs to the flour mix and make soft dough.
Make even size balls using a spoon and roll them in the cinnamon sugar. Place them 2 inch apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 8 -10 mins and remove immediately from the baking sheet. Let them cool down before storing in an air tight container.
Enjoy!

TIPS:
If you are using bigger size eggs your cookies may flatten after baking.
