Sharing my snickerdoodle recipe before everyone is off of the holiday high!  This post is long overdue!  I usually make them around the holiday time so there’s no better time than now.  Here’s what you will need:

  • Sugar
  • Flour
  • Baking soda
  • Shortening
  • Butter
  • 2 eggs
  • Cinnamon
  • Cream of tartar
  • Salt

The recipe that I use makes about 25 cookies.  Adjust your amounts accordingly if/when you need more.  Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the recipe!

Fun fact, shortening now comes in sticks like butter. It makes measuring and baking so much easier!
