Snickerdoodles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Mix shortening, sugar and eggs together.
Sift remaining ingredients.
Blend the two mixtures.
Chill dough.
Roll into balls the size of a walnut, then roll in mixture of 2 Tbsp. sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon.
Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375\u00b0 for 8 to 10 minutes (I bake mine 8 minutes**).
These cookies will puff up at first, then flatten with crinkled tops. Yields about 36 cookies.
