Ingredients
-
1
stick of butter (room temp)
-
1/2 cup
vegetable shortening (room temp)
-
1 1/2 cups
sugar
-
2
Large Eggs
-
2 1/2 cups
Flour
-
1 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
-
cinnamon and sugar to roll cookies in
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
-
In an electric mixer, combine the butter, shortening and sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and continue to beat.
-
Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix on low until incorporated.
-
Using a cookie scooper, scoop out even amount of dough. I made these bigger, but you can do regular size as well.
-
Spread a mixture of cinnamon and sugar onto a plate and roll the cookie dough ball into the mixture until it’s covered.
-
Place on a parchment paper-lined pan and bake 6-12 cookies at a time.
-
Only bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. Do not over-bake these cookies, bring them out more doughy as they will harden and continue to cook. If you over-bake them they will be dry.
-
Let them cool for a few minutes on the pan and transport them to a cooling rack.
-
When they’re completely cool, add in a scoop of your favorite ice cream to create your Snickerdoodle ice cream sandwiches!
