Snickerdoodles

I rarely bake. I think it's an aversion to following protocols, which I do all day at work. So I was surprised by my urge to bake this morning in order to quiet a nagging sweet tooth. The recipe that I turned to is one of my favorites, from the same, classic Better Homes and Gardens cookbook we used as kids (and I recently acquired):

I remember being allowed to cook a few recipes from this book when our parents weren't home, the recipes were just that easy. The yarn bookmark was still on the Snickerdoodle page!

So protocol in hand, I set to work and cranked out these gems in about 30 minutes.  I still love them, it's a combo of the cinnamon, butter, and cream of tartar that give them a sweet buttery zing!
