Scott's Firehouse Snickerdoodle Cookies

Scott's Firehouse recipes are easy, fool-proof and FAST! There is not time to diddle-daddle with meals. They can be tasty...but they need to be practical. There is always the possibility of a "call" that can take them away from the firehouse for minutes or for hours. I figure if it works for a REAL.LIFE. FIREHOUSE...it works in the REAL.LIFE.HOME...where we may be putting our own "fires" out!

Never underestimate the power of a CLASSIC SNICKERDOODLE COOKIE!

They are perfect for the beginning of Autumn as the cinnamon makes your home smell oh.so.good!  The ingredients are basic and no muss, no fuss!  

My hubby doubles the recipe and so do I as they are wonderful to pre-package and to freeze...ENJOY!

This recipe is already doubled to assure you have plenty to share.

Classic Snickerdoodle Cookies

In a mixer, combine:

1 cup butter  {room temp}

1 cup shortening {I use organic}...room temp, too

3 cups sugar

4 eggs

Stir together and add to mixing bowl:

5 1/2 cups flour

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Cinnamon Sugar:

4 tablespoons sugar

4 teaspoons cinnamon

Mix together and place in a shallow bowl or pie plate.

*Preheat oven to 400*

*Once your cookie dough is all mixed together, roll into balls about the size of a golf ball.

*Roll in cinnamon sugar.

*Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.  {I used parchment paper since my Silpats have new homes via GOODWILL!}

*Bake until light brown.  You are going for a soft cookie as they harden after they cool.

*Bake for 10-13 minutes

These are a bit blurry as they were taken out of the freezer!

Happy Thursday!
