It was so much fun to have Dayna and Travis here. Exciting because she tried on wedding dresses, found just the right one, had it altered and we took it home the next day! That's great service! Her bridesmaid fit into her dress like it was made jsut for her - no alterations needed. Just beautiful! Then the boys took us to the shooting range to destroy a box full of clay targets and do some target practice. Dayna was craving her favorite cookies so we got to mix up a batch. This recipe came with a Valentine card she gave me many years ago.
1 cup butter
1 ½ cups sugar
2 ¾ cups flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
2 eggs
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
Coating: mix together: 2 tbls sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon
Mix together butter, sugar, and eggs. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Chill dough for 1 hour. Roll dough into walnut-size balls. Roll balls in coating. Place balls 2" apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 – 10 minutes.
The hardest part is waiting for an hour to pass so we could bake them! I use a cookie scoop to dish these onto the cookie sheets which is so much easier than the old way I used to make them - using two spoons to dip and scrape them onto the cookie sheet. Using the cookie scoop, they are a consistent size. So that makes them bake up nicely.
These didn't last long. Fresh from the oven and covered in cinnamon, they are hard to resist! But...if you'd like your own dozen or more, that can be arranged! For a small fee, plus shipping and handling.

They are super yummy! Glad they are in my fridge where I can't see them, otherwise they would be all gone already!!!
