Sensational Cinnamon Snickerdoodles
1 cup of shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons of cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on low to combine the shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar and eggs. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. In a separate, small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons of sugar and the cinnamon to use later.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about an hour. With well-floured hands, pinch bits of the dough and roll them into 1 inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar until coated.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees. Makes about five dozen. Store in a covered container.
Parmesan Chicken Tenders
1 1/2 pounds of boneless chicken breasts (depending on size, this could be 2-4 halves)
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons water
3/4 to 1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Rinse the chicken and cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide by 3 inches long. In a small bowl, whisk or stir together the egg whites and water. In a medium sized bowl, stir together the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
By hand or with a fork, dip each chicken strip into the egg white mixture, then roll it in the bread crumb mixture until evenly coated. You can do about 10 at a time.
Oil or grease a 9x13 inch pan. Lay the strips side by side in the pan and bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 20 minutes; turn the tenders over and bake 10 more minutes until fork tender. Serves 4-6 people.
