-1/2 cup butter, softened
-1/2 cup shortening (I used butter flavored Crisco)
-1 1/2 cups sugar
-2 eggs
-1 TBSP vanilla
-2 3/4 cups flour + 2 TBSP flour
-2 tsp cream of tartar
-1 tsp baking soda
-1/2 tsp salt
-cinnamon/sugar mixture (3 TBSP sugar + 2 tsp cinnamon)
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Cream together butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs and vanilla. Blend in
the flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. Shape dough by rounded spoonfuls into
balls.
3. Mix the 3 TBSP sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll balls of dough in
mixture, then spoon cinnamon-sugar mixture over each cookie, turning once and
doing the same on the other side. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined
with parchment paper.
4. Bake for 8 minutes exactly! Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the
baking sheets for an additional 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to
cool completely.
