Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ½ cup shortening
  • ½ cup butter (you could use an entire cup of butter or an entire cup of shortening, but I liked it like this)
  • 1½ cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Topping:
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening, butter and sugar. Stir in the eggs.
  • Combe the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a different bowl.
  • Stir into the creamed mixture until well blended.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the cinnamon.
  • Roll dough into one inch sized balls, then roll the balls in the cinnamon-sugar.
