Answer 1

SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

Dough:

½ cup each butter and shortening (or marg), at room temperature
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

Beat butter, shortening, sugar and eggs together until creamy. Add cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, then blend. Add flour and mix well. Chilling overnight is preferred; otherwise at least two hours

Topping:

3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Combine topping ingredients in small, shallow bowl. After chilling, shape dough into balls about 1 ½ inches in diameter. Drop dough balls into topping mixture and coat entire surface well. Place on ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

Bake in a 375°F degree oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand one minute and remove to cooling racks.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Answer 2

Yup, definitley the 3rd is correct. They are like sugar cookies rolled in cinnamon/sugar mixture. They can look like little balls or they might flatten out during baking and look round and slightly flat. Good cookies though! And for sure have no Snickers in them.
