Snickerdoodles

I'll have to post the ways I make soap later, when I have time to actually make some.

4 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1 1/4 cups shortening
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup buttermilk (milk will do in a pinch)

TOPPING:
1/2 cup sugar
3 tsp cinnamon


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix together all dry ingredients in 1 bowl. Mix together all wet ingredients in another. Slowly combine the two until mixture is smooth. Mix together topping ingredients and set aside.
With a small scoop, put balls of cookie dough mixture onto pans/stones.
Press flat bottomed glass into topping mixture. (if it becomes too sticky, you can dip the glass into cooking oil, then the topping) Press on each cooking ball to flatten.
Bake 12-15 minutes. These are not supposed to brown, so keep a close eye on them!
