Snickerdoodles instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°.
  2. Mix shortening, sugar, and eggs thoroughly. If you do half shortening it's harder to mix with the butter, but doesn't come out as rich. It also helps to soften in the microwave..

  4. Shape dough balls, around 1" thick (can vary, but larger balls need to cook longer).
  5. Roll dough balls in sugar and cinnamon..
  6. Place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheet.
