Snickerdoodles

This easy peasy recipe is just delicious. They are simple to make, keep very well ( not in our household....). Try them and let me know how you went. You can decorate them with dipping them into chocolate if you feel like it.

1/2 cup butter, softened, 1/2 cup shortening (biskin), 1 1/2 cups white sugar, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons white sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions 

Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Cream together butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, the eggs and the vanilla. Blend in the flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt.
