1st Place Snicker Doodles

This recipe won in my classes cookie contest, and everyone loves them. They taste best when you make them large! But they also turn out a bit flat like a pancake, I need to figure out how to make them fluffier but they taste so good, they are the talk of the party usually. If you want them fluffy and airy, make them small.

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs

Basic Necessities:
Large bowl
Medium bowl
Small bowl
Egg beater

Preheat oven to 375. Grab 2 sticks (1 cup) of butter out of the fridge and cut them into tablespoon sized pieces to let soften.

Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

Beat together butter and sugar in another medium-large bowl.
Gradually add dry ingredients into the butter mixture.

In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons sugar + 2 teaspoons cinnamon.

For the first cookie, roll dough into a ball the size of a walnut for small cookies, or the size of a golf ball for large cookies. Roll into the cinnamon sugar mixture until thoroughly coated. Place on a baking pan. Place each cookie VERY far apart, more than you usually would. (unless you want square cookies) Bake for 8-10 minutes.
