Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Sift together all dry ingredients into a bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, whip together the shortening and lard until nice and light.
Add the dry mixture slowly, one cup at a time (6 cups only first).
Place the mixture on the countertop or on a table.
Add the remaining dry mixture with the water and continue to knead the dough by hand until you form a good nice dough ball.
Sprinkle some flour on the countertop or on the table and spread out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/2 inches and use a cookie cutter to make cookies.
Place on a cookie sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
While cookies are being baked, mix together the topping ingredients in a bowl.
Once the cookies come out of the oven, place one by one in the sugar and cinnamon mixture one at a time and sprinkle them with this mixture.
Place on a cooling rack to finish cooling.
