Snickerdoodles

I got this recipe from my trusty 1981 Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, now out of print.

Dough
3 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cinnamon Sugar
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Grease a cookie sheet.  Stir together first four ingredients.  In a separate bowl, beat butter for 30 seconds; add the 2 cups sugar and beat till fluffy.  Add eggs, milk, and vanilla; beat well.  Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture, beating till combined.  Form dough into 1-inch balls; roll in Cinnamon Sugar.  Place balls 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet; flatten slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass.  Bake in a 375 degree oven  about 8 minutes or till light golden.  Makes about 66.
