Granini's Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

Granini's Cinnamon Sugar Cookies 

aka Snickerdoodles, type 2

Ingredients:
1 cup margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/3 cups flour
Plus: 3 Tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a separate bowl.


Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix margarine, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until creamy and fluffy.
2. Add in the eggs, one at a time, until mixed thoroughly.
3. Add in vanilla and baking soda.
4. Slowly add in flour, a little at a time, until JUST mixed.
5. Scoop onto cookie sheets (I like to line mine with parchment paper because I'm lazy and hate big clean up jobs.)
6. Mix together the extra sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.  Sprinkle a wee bit of cinnamon sugar over the top of each cookie.  
7. Bake at 350 for 8-9 minutes.

For those of you who like pictures:

If you scoop them out onto parchment paper, it makes clean up so much easier!

Sprinkle the top of each cookie with a wee bit more cinnamon sugar.

Eons ago, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and I started making these cookies, I used to take the time to chill the dough, roll each blob into a beautiful orb, roll each orb in the cinnamon sugar, and then bake.  Now I'm too darned lazy to do that.  And honestly, I can't really tell the difference.  So why bother with all that extra nonsense?  These are fast and easy cookies.  Super simple, and extra tasty!

I have been known to sprinkle yet another dash of cinnamon sugar 

over the top of the cooled cookies too!

But that's just me.

Enjoy!
