Being the Christmas season, I randomly got the idea to create cookbooks for gifts this year. I have a collection of my grandmothers old cookbooks that i plan on putting a dozen or so together into one place. One of the places I am pulling from is a church book from 2002, titled "Treasures from Heaven", a collection of recipes from St. Peter the Apostle. What this means I do not actually know but I assume they are just recipes submitted by the congregation, in it I have found this snickerdoodle recipe.
2 3/4 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. Crisco shortening
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. sugar
Have all ingredients at room temperature. Sift together first 4 ingredients. In mixing bowl, cream together shortening, sugar, and eggs. Mix at medium speed until fluffy. Add sifted dry ingredients. Mix at medium speed until completely combined. Chill dough. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll into 1 inch balls and then roll into a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned but still soft.
Yields 5 dozen
