I decided to do a separate post for my cookies :). So these DIDN'T turn out as good as I wanted to for my first baking post.. but they turned out ok. I used double the butter instead of using both butter and shortening.   

Snicker-Doodles

for Snicker- Doodles you will need:

1/2 C butter

1/2 C short.

1 1/2 C sugar

2 eggs

2 3/4 C flour

2 t crm of tartar

1 t soda

1/4 t salt

First step is cream butter, short. and sugar

Add eggs and mix well

i sieved my dry ingredients  

 and then you add it to your wet ingred.

 Roll into balls and roll in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.

Bake at 400 for 8 to 10 mins and presto!

I think because of the extra butter and no short. they turned out flat.. but they still tasted good :)
