Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening

  • In a large bowl or the bowl of your mixer, cream the shortening, butter, and sugar at medium high speed thoroughly until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, and mix thoroughly.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low, and slowly add the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Place dough in the refrigerator until just cool enough to handle and roll into balls, about 15-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
  • Using a small scoop or about 1 tablespoon of dough, form balls, and roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat all sides.

  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until barely set and slightly golden. They will puff up at first while baking, then flatten out.
  • Cool for a few minutes on the pan, then remove and cool completely on cooling racks.

"This must be one of the best cookies I have ever eaten." Yep, that's what my mother said the first time I ever made this cookie. It is a GREAT cookie recipe, and not difficult to make at all. I tripled the recipe and took it to school to sell... I sold all of them with in an 80 minute time span to only 4 people. They are good cookies, I can't resist them whenever I make them. And they turn out so nice whenever you bake them, it's hard to make an ugly snickerdoodle. lol. Enjoy. (prep time is estimated)
