Snickerdoodles

Kind of a Christmas-y cookie... I made 2 versions of this delightful cookie. One batch for my family and the other for my puppy! You may be saying to yourself "this girl is crazy" and truly I am... but these cookies turned out wonderfully and both my family and my dog gobbled them up.

Snickerdoodles (yields 36 cookies)

Method:
1. Mix vegetable oil, butter and honey together until smooth. Add eggs and beat well.

2. Blend in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar.

6. Bake 8 minutes at 400. Remove from baking sheet and cool on a rack.










My dog seemed to like these cookies. At first he was a bit warry, but when he realized I made him fresh biscuits he dug right in. My sisters really liked the honey taste, it makes a much more flavorful cookie than mere sugar.
