Steps:
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar together until the mixture is soft and fluffy. Add eggs and beat again until smooth.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Chill dough for 1 to 2 hours.

DAD'S FAVORITE SNICKERDOODLES
My Dad insists on Snickerdoodles every year for Father's Day, his birthday, the holidays- any excuse he can think of to get me to make these!! My hubby and kids don't mind them either!! I make my version of this Betty Crocker recipe.:) Great for gifting friends too! I don't use self-rising flour ever on these, but included the info in case someone did in the ingredients. I DO add extra flour when needed if the consistency of the cookies aren't what I want- more flour makes them "fluffier". Adjust accordingly each time you make based on your personal taste!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- In small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for topping mix. Set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, the margarine, shortening, vanilla and eggs. I find the texture of the cookies best if I stick to this margarine/shortening ratio.
- Sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
- Mix thoroughly into wet mixture (eggs/butter, etc).
- Shape into balls- I usually make a heaping teaspoonful-depends on your preference.
- Roll tops of balls into sugar/cinnamon mixture to coat.
- Place approximately 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes until set.
- Remove cookies immediately from sheet to rack to cool.
- TIP- I find best results also when I refrigerate the dough/balls between batches until they are baked. This keeps them from spreading out as much.
- ENJOY! ;).

It's a bold statement, but in my opinion --- There has been no Snickerdoodle yet to top Grandma D's Snickerdoodles. I've tried a dozen variations. These are famous in our family for good reason.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final product.
- Make sure your butter and sugar are at room temperature. This will help them cream together smoothly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them.
