Snickerdoodles
Ingredients
1 cup soft shortening
11/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
23/4 cup sifted flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbs half and half sugar and cinnamon, leaning
towards extra sugar
Method
Mix the sugar, egg, and shortening together thoroughly.
Sift in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Chill the resulting dough.
Roll the dough in balls the size of small walnuts and roll
each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely
coated. Put the balls on an ungreased baking sheet about 2
inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 400o . The cookies
will puff, then flatten out with crinkled tops. They should
be lightly browned but still soft. Cool and hold for some
time before serving.
