1/2 tsp. salt

Snickerdoodles

1 cup shortening or butter
2 eggs
1 jar Snickerdoodle Mix
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, cream the butter with a mixer until light. Add the eggs and beat on low speed until the mixture is smooth. Add the Snickerdoodle Mix and continue to beat on low speed until the dough begins to form. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Shape the dough into quarter sized balls and roll in the cinnamon-sugar blend. Arrange on ungreased baking sheets 2 inches apart and bake for 8-10 minutes or until light brown. Cool on wire racks.
