Cooking Katie's Way

2 3/4 cups flour

2 tsp cream of tartar

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup shortening or 1/2 cup shortening 1/2 cup margarine

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

Mix all dry ingredients together in medium bowl. Set aside. Mix shortening, sugar, and eggs together. Add dry ingredients, mix well. Scrap down sides of bowl and make dough “pretty” so it’s all touching each other. Cover and chill until easy to handle-about 1 hour. Form dough into little balls. Roll into a sugar and cinnamon mixture (about 2 parts sugar to 1 part cinnamon). Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet 3×4. Bake 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees.
