Four Crystal Stars

 

Snickerdoodles

 

2 1/2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 cups sugar, divided

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons cinnamon

 

Preheat oven to 350F. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Mix in eggs until well combined. Gradually add flour mixture, stirring, until dough forms. Cover and chill at least half an hour. In a third bowl, combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls and roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar. Place dough balls about 3 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until golden.
