Cookies, Cookies, Cookies! Christmas Cookie #9 Holiday Spiced Snickerdoodles



Holiday Spiced Snickerdoodles

3 cups flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
1 cup butter, softened ( I used 6 tbsp. butter and ½ cup butter flavored shortening so the cookies wouldn’t spread so much when baking)
1 1/3 cup sugar plus ¼ cup, divided
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. cloves


Combine butter, shortening, and 1 1/3 cup sugar until fluffy.  Add in eggs and vanilla.  In separate bowl combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.  Add flour mixture on low speed just until blended. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix remaining 1/4 cup sugar with spices in separate bowl.  Roll dough into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar/spice mixture, place on greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until edges are set and tops are puffed but still slightly soft.  Cool on wire rack
