Snickerdoodles



3 ¾ cups flour
½ tsp. Baking soda
½ tsp. Cream of tartar
1 cup butter (tastes better than margarine)
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup milk
1 tsp. real vanilla (tastes better than imitation vanilla)

Topping:
3 Tbsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Cinnamon

Soften the butter and leave the eggs on the counter for a little while to warm to room temperature if possible. Mix butter, sugar and eggs. Add milk and vanilla and mix. Add dry ingredients. Mix 3 Tbsp. Sugar and 1 tsp. Cinnamon in bowl for topping. With your hands, roll dough into balls and then roll in cinnamon/sugar mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Be sure to take the cookies out BEFORE they look completely done if you want that soft texture.
