My favorite cookies are Snickerdoodles with a lil secret ingredient: cloves.
Cloven Snickerdoodles
½ cup butter substitute
½ cup crisco
2 eggs
1 ½ cup sugar
2 ¾ cup flour
2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ t salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon
extra sugar with a pinch of ground cloves
Preheat oven to 375°. Mix butter, Crisco eggs and 1 ½ C sugar together thoroughly. Sift flour, tartar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Add the two mixes together and then roll into walnut sized balls. Roll balls in sugar and cloves then flatten with fork tines. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
***For Christmas cookies I half the size of the cookies and bake just until edges are brown. These make good thumb print style cookies.
