Cinnamon Dough

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup Butter, softened

2 Eggs

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.





Combine all cinnamon dough ingredients in bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Divide dough in half; place into separate bowls. Set aside one bowl.





Add molasses to remaining bowl of dough; beat until well mixed. Combine 1/4 cup flour, ginger and cloves in another bowl. Add to molasses mixture. Beat at low speed until well mixed.





Twist about 3/4-inch pieces of each dough together; roll into about 1 1/4-inch ball, creating marbled effect. Roll ball in sugar.
