Snickerdoodles

I have officially decided that I was a deprived child in the spoiled child sense. Don't get me wrong, my parents were very loving and I am very satisfied with my childhood - but - when it comes to cable tv shows, certain foods, vacations, etc. I would say I was deprived.

I didn't have cable when I was a kid. Shoot, now we still only have basic cable. Aka TBS, WGN and that's it! People bring up Spongebob, Blue's Clues, the Rugrats, etc. and I can't share in the joy that they get from reminiscing about those wondrous childhood memories.

The reason I am ranting about not having cable tv as a child is the epiphany that I didn't know what snickerdoodle cookies were as a child. I am now in love with snickerdoodle cookies. I think it's reasonable to assume that if I had known about snickerdoodles they would have been my favorite cookie instead of sugar cookies.

Anyways, I was bored and wanted to bake so my dad suggested I make snickerdoodles...so I did and I'm so happy I did! So please, please,  please make these and enjoy!

Snickerdoodle Cookies

2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs

2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Gradually mix in the flour mixture. Add the extra sugar and cinnamon until completely mixed in.

Line cookie sheets with wax paper. Drop teaspoons of the cookie dough onto the cookie sheets. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Make sure to rotate the cookie sheets halfway through!
