EASY CHRISTMAS SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, softened butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms.
• Shape dough into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls. In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Roll balls in sugar-cinnamon mixture. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Discard any remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture after rolling balls.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 1 minute. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Decorate as desired using icings. Store cookies covered in airtight container. If decorating with icings, once icings are set, store cookies loosely covered in a single layer.

SNICKERDOODLE/SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
• 2. In large bowl, beat sugar, butter, shortening and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until well creamed.
• 3. Stir in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt until thoroughly blended together. I prefer to use my hands for this step.
• 4. If you are not ready to bake your cookies, you may cover with cellophane wrap and place bowl in refrigerator for up to 24 hours until ready to shape and bake.
• 5. When ready: shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon and then roll the balls into the mixture before placing on ungreased baking sheet. (Remember to omit cinnamon, if you are making sugar cookies.) Cookies should be 2 inches apart.
• 6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to counter top or wire rack and let cool.
• 7. If using self-rising flour, omit the cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. All-purpose flour works best.
