These are just like the ones my mom used to make and always come out PERFECT! I've been accused of buying them at the store and passing them of as my own.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup "crisco butter" shortening (for best results do not substitute)
1 1/2 cups of white sugar
2 lrg. eggs
2 3/4 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/3 teaspoon salt
in seperate small side dish: mix together 2 tbs white sugar with 2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees In a medium bowl, cream together shortening, eggs and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt into the creamed mixture (half at a time )... mix until well blended. In a small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the cinnamon. Roll dough in palm into near walnut sized balls, then roll the balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place them onto an unprepared cookie sheet, two inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be slightly brown. Remove from sheets to cool on wire racks.
  • 2. Makes approx 3 1/2 - 4 dozen depending on how large you roll them. I make them a little smaller than a walnut .. I usually get about 4 dozen. Note: Check around 8 minutes into baking time, if bottom edges look a little brown, they are done. You don't want to over bake them.
