Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

Lots of Snickers - Snicker Doodles

Sarah and I had lots of fun making these Snicker Doodles. Doug & I are staying with Coray & Mindy's kids while they cruise the seas. So, what better activity to start with than making cookies? An old favorite, I've always spelled it as one word - Snickerdoodles, but I'll be true to what Mother wrote. There aren't many instructions here, but I baked them at 400 degrees for about 8 minutes and they turned out fine. I'm used to seeing them flatten more; these stayed quite rounded. Maybe a factor of too much flour. I don't know - but they taste good, so that's what counts!

SNICKER DOODLES
1¼ cups shortening
1¼ cups sugar
4 cups flour
1 tsp. cream tarter
1½ tsp. soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3 eggs
Vanilla
Roll in sugar and cinnamon. Bake 400°F.
