| There are a handful of things that I do not use in my cooking/baking. Shortening is at the top of that list.  Grosses me out.
 Pretty much all of the snickerdoodle recipes I have seen have shortening in them, so I was really excited to find this one in Rachael Ray.  I'll use real butter all day long.  Three cheers for butter!!!
 
 2 cubes real butter, softened
 1 cup brown sugar
 1/2 cup sugar
 2 eggs
 2 tsp. vanilla
 2 1/2 cups flour
 2 tsp. baking powder
 1 tsp. baking soda
 1 tsp. salt
 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

*Cream butter and sugars.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients and mix well.  Roll into golfball-size balls and then roll in a sugar/cinnamon mixture (1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon).  Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 375 for 10-12 minutes, until edges are slightly brown.
