Snickerdoodles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. shortening
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation

Mix shortening, sugar and eggs together. Sift dry ingredients together and add shortening mixture, blending well. Chill dough. Shape into balls the size of a walnut and roll in a mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Place 2-inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake until brown, but soft in a 400\u00b0 oven for 8 to 10 minutes. These cookies puff up at first, then flatten out with crinkley tops.
