snickerdoodles

snickerdoodles are cookies smiliar to our swedish kaneldroppar (sju sorters kakor). they contain some ingrediences that are hard to get a hold of in sweden.. so this recipies is for all americans out there.

1 cup of soft shortening

2 3/4 cups flour

1 1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp cream of tartar 

2 eggs

1 tsp baking soda

1/2tsp salt

1. start by mixing the soft shortening with a hand mixer. pour in all the other ingredience and stir well. 

2. roll into balls the size of a walnut. roll in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar (1 cup of sugar to 2 tsp cinnamon). 

3. drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet. bake for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees farenheit.

if you really want to try baking snickerdoodles in sweden i know they sell ”cream of tartar” in ”apoteket” some times, but it´s kind of hard to get a hold of. 

enjoy!
