    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

    2 tb Granulated sugar

    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.
