Ingredients
- 1 cup soft shortening
- 1 1/2 cups + 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 3/4 cups sifted flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and eggs.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cream of tarter, baking soda and salt.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula to form a soft dough.
- Gather the dough into a pile, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerator 6 hours to overnight, or until thoroughly chilled.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix together remaining 2 tbsp sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon. Roll dough into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll the balls into the cinnamon and sugar mixture to coat.
- Place the balls a full 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet (they will spread quite a bit!). Bake until lightly browned but still soft, around 8-10 minutes.
- The cookies will puff up at first, then flatten out.
- Let cool on a wire rack, then serve.
Notes
- You will also need: 2 mixing bowls, electric mixer, baking sheet
