Cookie Carnival -- Sassy Cinnamon Cookies

I picked the Sassy Cinnamon Cookies for November's Cookie Carnival. It is a receipe from Betty Crocker and it got rave reviews from everyone that tried them. I have had sevreal request to make these again.

They are very similar to a snickerdoodle cookie, which anyone that knows me, knows that I love a good snickerdoodle.

These are perfect for the fall, for cookie trays for the holidays or even a cookie exchange.

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cinnamon-flavored baking chips

1.Heat oven to 375°F (if using dark or nonstick pan, heat oven to 350°F). In large bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, the butter, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until creamy. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Stir in cinnamon chips and pecans.

2.In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon. Shape dough by 1/4 cupfuls into balls. Roll in sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place balls 3 inches apart on ungreased large cookie sheet (do not flatten). **I made much smaller cookies than the 1/4 cup**
