Snickerdoodles

1/2 C butter
1 1/2 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 C milk
3 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda

For the coating:
5 Tbs sugar
2 Tbs cinnamon

Beat the butter until light and creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla and continue until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, then the milk. Sift the flour and baking soda over the butter mixture and stir to blend. (It will get to thick for the mixer.) Refrigerate for 15 min. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease two baking sheets. To make the coating, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Roll Tablespoonfuls of the dough into walnut-size balls. Roll the balls in the sugar mixture. You may need to work in batches. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and flatten slightly. Bake for about 10 minutes, until golden. ( Make sure you don't overbake or they will be crispy rather than soft.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
