Adventures in Baking - Snickerdoodles

I love Snickerdoodles! They aren't too sweet and always taste homey. The secret is to use really good quality cinnamon. I like Penzeys blend. Also use coarse, flaky salt - try Maldon.

1. Sift 2 3/4 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt together in a large bowl.

2. Cream 2 sticks unsalted butter with 1 1/2 cups sugar and 2 eggs. (I used my new Vitamix and it was a DREAM. Is there nothing it can do?)

3. Combine wet and dry ingredients and shape into balls. Roll each top in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.

4. Back at 325 for 12 minutes.
