1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tbsps sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Beat the butter with an electric mixer until it's all..well, beaten up. Mix in the sugar, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Beat in the egg and vanilla, then add the flour.
Voila, you have your dough. Because you've just beaten the crap out of it, it will look all crumbly and not very dough-like at all, like this (except you'll have about twice as much because it didn't occur to me to take pictures until half the cookies were already in the oven):
Cover the dough and chill in the fridge for about an hour or so.
Mix the 2 tablespoons of sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl. When your crumbly dough has been chilled, shape it in to small, cookie-sized balls, then roll them around in the sugar/cinnamon mixture until they're nicely covered.
Put them about an inch or so apart on an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake in a 375 F oven for 10-12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
This is supposed to make about 36 cookies, but apparently I either a) make really big cookies, or b) eat way more dough than I think I do, because I always end up with around 20.

My hubby loves Snickerdoodles. He loves the name more than the cookies. lol. I've made them before but it is the roll of dough you can buy at the store. I might try your recipe tomorrow. :)
My sister's family is going to visit us next weekend, and I may try making those for them. They've got the loveliest four-year-old!
In the eloquent voice of my id, I WANTS it all. ME, ME, ME!
