Snickerdoodles
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar, divided
1 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 Tbsp. water
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 c. of the sugar with the cinnamon and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and remaining 1 1/4 c. sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, and water and beat until fluffy. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Mix in short bursts until flour is nearly blended in, then continue mixing at medium speed until well mixed. Shape dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture, then place on cookie sheets. Flatten slightly w/ the bottom of a glass. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen 3" cookies.
