Description

Ingredients

• 2¾ cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup salted butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1½ cups sugar
• ½ cup shortening
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

• Set the oven to preheat at 400 degrees F.
• Mix the butter, eggs, shortening, and 1½ cups of the sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy or about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Add it into the shortening mixture.
• Mix the 2 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl or on a small plate.
• Roll about a tablespoon of dough (more or less) into 1½-inch balls, and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar. Set them about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake until the cookie edges set, but the centers are still soft. That should be about 8-10 minutes, depending on your oven. Cool on wire racks.
