Directions: |
Directions:Cream together butter and sugar. Beat eggs and add to creamed mixture. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, soda, and salt; stir into creamed mixture. Dough will be slightly sticky. Refrigerate or freeze dough for a couple of hours to make it easier to handle. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in cinnamon mixture. Place 2” apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400° about 8-10 minutes. After removing from oven, let cool for about 2 minutes, then remove from cookie sheet. Store in airtight container. Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
Some notes on preparation: Make sure cream of tartar is fresh; otherwise the cookies will not have the right chewy-but-crisp texture and will be doughy.I find it easier to form balls of frozen dough (rather than just refrigerated), and make about a dozen balls at a time. Then roll 3-4 at a time in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on cookie sheet. If the dough becomes sticky, put it back in the freezer to chill. You can add a little flour to the dough, but too much will make these cookies thick and doughy. They should be light and crisp when eaten. |

I belong to a Bichon Rescue group called Small Paws Rescue, and every year they have a big "conference" in Tulsa, OK, the home of the group's founder. One of the greatest things about going is that you meet many new friends from across the country, all sharing a love for Bichons. Deborah Svedman is one of those friends (now an "old" friend) who comes to Tulsa from El Paso, TX. Deborah not only brings her family of Bichons with her, she also brings dozens of homemade cookies! Snickerdoodles are one of my favorites, and she was kind enough to share the recipe. Thanks, Deb!
