Snickerdoodle Recipe

I changed up a Snickerdoodle cookie recipe and it turned out yummy =)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup butter flavored shortening

Mix butter and shortening together until combined.

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

Add sugars to butter mixture and whip for 5 minutes until batter is fluffy.

While that is mixing, measure and sift these 4 ingredients together in a separate bowl:

2 3/4 cups flour

1 tsp cream of tartar

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

Add to butter mixture:

1 tsp powdered vanilla (can add liquid)

2 eggs

Mix until combined.

Add flour mixture to the butter bowl and again mix until combined.

In a separate smaller bowl combine these 3 ingredients:

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground nutmeg

3 tbsp turbinado sugar (coarse sugar that gives a little crunch!)

Roll cookie dough into balls, dip into cinnamon concoction and lay on ungreased cookie sheet, bake for 11 minutes. Makes 36 cookies.
