Snickerdoodles

I have a myriad of Snickerdoodle recipes, but this recipe from Better Homes and Garden has never failed me.

For the Cookie
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar      
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For the Cinnamon Sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.

Add the 1 cup sugar, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Beat until combined.

Beat in egg and vanilla.

Beat in the flour Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

In a small mixing bowl combine the 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. I use a tablespoon scoop to shape the dough. Roll balls in the sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.
