Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a mixing bowl with an electric mixer), cream the shortening and the sugar until well mixed, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs and mix again until combined.
- Add in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Mix well until combined.
- Roll the cookie dough into balls.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture, then place on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Don’t let the cookies get brown if you’d like them to be soft.
- Right after they come out of the oven, swirl in a mason jar ring or round cookie cutter so that they are perfectly round.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a wire cooking rack. Then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 8 weeks.
Notes
- The cookie dough balls were 1 1/2" wide and I got 30 balls. The cookies spread to about 3" wide during baking.
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
