Amish Snickerdoodles

Ingredients
1 cup REAL Butter (This is key. Do not substitute margarine!)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup sugar (Again: Key is pure white granulated sugar.)
2 3/4 cup white flour (Do not make this healthy by using whole wheat. Sorry!)
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
--------
2 TBSP sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
Mix first four ingredients together. Blend well. Presift the next four ingredients -- blend well. Combine the two and blend together. Actually -- the best method is your hands! Form walnut-size balls. Roll each ball in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Place about 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. (Most recipes tell you that the cookies will flatten with baking. Not always true. If the first batch does NOT flatten. Flatten them yourself slightly with pads of fingers before placing in oven.) Bake 7-9 minutes at 375 degrees. These store well in airtight container and can be frozen. Variations: Top with red-hots, chocolate/butterscoth/peanut butter chips, pecans or walnuts -- or substitue colored sugar for rolling mixture"
