         Title: Great American Cookies Snickerdoodles   
    Categories: Cookies, Copycat   
         Yield: 16 Cookies   
      
       1/2 c  Butter; softened   
       1/2 c  Granulated sugar   
       1/3 c  Brown sugar   
         1    Egg   
       1/2 ts Vanilla   
     1 1/2 c  Flour   
       1/4 ts Salt   
       1/2 ts Baking soda   
       1/4 ts Cream of tartar

         2 tb Granulated sugar   
         1 ts Cinnamon   
      
     Rather than trying to beat the competitors--especially if they have an   
     exceptional product--Mrs. Fields Famous Brands waves the cash at 'em.   
     With the acquisition of Great American Cookies in 1998 by the company   
     that made chewy mall cookies big business--Mrs. Fields is now   
     peddling her baked wares in more than 90% of the premier shopping   
     malls in the United States. That's how you make the dough! One of the   
     all-time favorites you can snag at any of the 364 Great American   
     Cookies outlets is this clone of the classic snickerdoodle. Rolled in   
     cinnamon and sugar, it's soft and chewy like the other cookies, and   
     will seem to be undercooked when you take it out of the oven. When it   
     cools it should be gooey, yet firm in the middle. And a couple bites   
     will make you wonder: "Got milk?!" In a large bowl, cream together   
     the butter and sugars with an electric mixer on high speed. Add the   
     egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.   
      
     In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of   
     tartar.   
      
     Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well.   
      
     Preheat oven to 300?F while you let the dough rest for 30 to   
          60    minutes in the refrigerator.   
      
     In a small bowl, combine the sugar with the cinnamon for the topping.   
      
     Take about 2-1/2 tb dough and roll it into a ball. Roll this dough in   
     the cinnamon/sugar mixture and press it onto an ungreased cookie   
     sheet. Repeat for the remaining cookies.   
      
     Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes and no more. The cookies may   
     seem undercooked, but will continue to develop after they are removed   
     from the oven. When the cookies have cooled they should be soft and   
     chewy in the middle.
