Snicker Doodle Cookies

Snicker Doodle Cookies (Crispy or Soft)
Here's the recipe if you want thin, crispy cookies:
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 tea Vanilla Extract
2 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if you are using salted (regular) butter)
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

(For soft, puffy cookies use shortening in place of the butter and increase the Cream of Tar Tar to 2 teaspoons.)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F .
2. In a large bowl, mix together the butter/shortening and 1 1/2 cups of white sugar until smooth. Stir in the eggs, blending well after each. Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; stir into the batter until just blended.
3. Roll the dough into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in a mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned, but still soft.
