Snickerdoodles

As requested by Melanie! Originally from the Betty Crocker Cookie book, but slightly modified.

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Coating
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Heat oven to 400°. Mix sugar, butter, and eggs. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Shape dough by rounded teaspoonful into balls.

Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon; rolls balls in mixture to coat. Place about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until set, 8-10 minutes. Remove immediately from the cookie sheet to a rack.
