Snickerdoodles to Celebrate the New School Year!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/8 to 1/4 cup skim milk
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

2 tbsp. sugar
1 -2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl (or a mixer bowl) combine the sugar and butter until combined (mixture will not be smooth or fluffy, but make sure it is not chunky). Add in the vanilla and the eggs, beating until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Pour the flour mixture into the sugar mixture and beat until combined. If your dough is too dry (like course meal) to form into a dough, begin adding skim milk slowly until a soft dough begins to form.

In a small bowl, combine the 2 tbsp sugar and cinnamon.

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop up dough and roll between hands to form one-inch balls. Roll the dough balls in the sugar/cinnamon mixture and place on prepared cookie sheet. Take a glass or cup with a flat bottom, wet it and dip it into the sugar mixture. Use the sugared glass/cut to slightly flatten the dough balls.

Bake in pre-heated oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until only slightly brown on the bottom. Tops should still be dough colored or only slightly-browned (but make sure they are not too doughy).

Cool on cookie sheet for about one minute before removing to a wire rack.

Enjoy!
