Barky Snickerdoodles

The following recipe is for the cookies that are on the left of this tray.
I will feature the other cookies at a later time.  In the meantime, enjoy!

1 c. white sugar

1/2 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. butter

1/2 c. Crisco

2 eggs

2 3/4 c. flour

1/4 t. salt

1 t. soda

1 t. cream of tartar

1 t. vanilla

Mix together well and chill 1 hour or more.  Make into small balls and roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture (1 t. cinnamon and 1/4 c. white sugar).  Bake 8 minutes at 375*.  When cookies are cool, melt 1 pkg. of almond bark and dip the tips of cookies into almond bark.  Let cool and store in air tight container.

VICKI'S NOTES:  Some of my family members like the almond bark on the cookies and some of them don't, so I only melt a 1/2 pkg. almond bark and dip only 1/2 of the cookies.
