snickerdoodles

behold the greatness that is cinnamon and sugar!

(i was a bit under the weather on thursday and i had to work too...which means *gasp! no baking! i'm hoping to make up for it today by baking two things, these cookies and the previous post of shepherds pie. i think that should cover it.)

1/2 C butter, softened
1/2 C shortening
1 1/2 C white sugar
1/2 C applesauce
2 t vanilla
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 t baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

preheat oven to 400.

cream together butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, applesauce and vanilla. blend in the flour, baking powder and salt. 

mix the 2 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon and place on a flat plate. 

using your hands, roll walnut sized amounts of dough into balls and roll into cinnamon sugar mix. 


place 12 dough balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. 


bake for 10 minutes. allow to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before moving to wire racks. 


*makes 4 dozen cookies
