That’s right! Snickerdoodles! Six of the eight ingredients can come straight from your food storage (shortening, white sugar, flour, salt, baking soda, and eggs). You can make these for your family and not have to sneak anything into them to make it a great food storage cookie! Although, I was even able to sneak in some wheat flour without anyone noticing . (1/2 wheat flour always turns out great in any cookie recipe.) The recipe I used is a tried and true family favorite…sometimes the best food storage recipes are the ones we use everyday and don’t know it. 
Snickerdoodles
1 C. Shortening
1 ½ C. Sugar
2 Eggs (2T. powdered eggs + 1/4 C. water)
2 ¾ C. Flour (I used half wheat and half white)
2 tsp. Cream of Tartar
1 tsp. Soda
¼ tsp. Salt
2 T. Sugar
2 tsp. Cinnamon
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix shortening, 1 ½ C. Sugar and eggs thoroughly. Measure flour by dipping method or sifting. Blend flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt; stir in. Shape dough in 1 inch balls. Roll in mixture of 2 T. Sugar and cinnamon. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes. These cookies puff up at first, then flatten out.

Yeah, I’m so glad you tried the recipe AND enjoyed them!!! Who knew using food storage could be so tastey?!
Crystal, I made these with an 8 year old girl from church and they came out great. Thought you might want to know there is a typo in the recipe book. It calls for 2TBSP cinnamon instead of tsp.
Thank you for letting me know!
