Snickerdoodle Cookies - Super Easy Version

This is the first Snickerdoodle recipe I have tried that was adapted from a family cookbook, but I liked them and I hope you will too! Just give them a try...it uses mostly ingredients that you probably already have and can be easily modified to your taste, so use your imagination! Enjoy!

2. Cream the butter, then add sugar and mix.
3. Sift the flour,salt, and baking powder into the mixture, add egg and mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
