     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.
