Grandmother’s Snickerdoodles

2 T. Makara Cinnamon
2 T. sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix Makara Cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl and reserve for topping.

In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine butter, margarine and sugar; cream well. Add the eggs and beat again until light and fluffy.

Sift dry ingredients together; add them to the egg/butter mixture and mix thoroughly. Chill dough one hour.

Preheat oven to 400°.

Form the chilled dough into 1″ balls and roll them in reserved Makara Cinnamon and sugar. Place them on greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Bake 8-10 minutes. Cookies will puff during baking, then fall, leaving a crackly sugar top.

Makes 6 dozen cookies.
