Snickerdoodles

I think this cookie rates right up next to chocolate chip cookies where my kids are concerned. Perfect for those back to school lunches. They are buttery with just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. Reminds me of Cinnamon Toast.

Makes about 36

1 cup butter, softened(2 sticks)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp cinnamon

extra cinnamon and sugar for rolling

Preheat oven to 375. Line cookie sheets with silpats or parchment paper. In a large bowl with a mixer beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time. Add the vanilla and blend well. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cream of tartar, cinnamon and baking soda. Add to the butter sugar mixture with the mixer on low, then adjust the speed to medium until dough just comes together. Place 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon in a pie plate and stir to combine. Using a large cookie scoop, scoop up a walnut sized ball of dough. Roll it in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Place on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, remove from the oven and let them set up on the cookie sheet for about 3 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
