{"0":"Snickerdoodles: In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.","2":"In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until smooth (about 2 to 3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and beat until you have a smooth dough.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.","6":"Shape the dough into 1 inch (2.5 cm) round balls.","8":"Coating: In a large shallow bowl mix together the sugar and cinnamon.","10":"Roll the balls of dough in the cinnamon sugar and place on the prepared pan, spacing about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Then, using the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie to about 1\/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick.","12":"Bake the cookies for about 8 - 10 minutes, or until they are light golden brown around the edges."}
