Snickerdoodles

Mix thoroughly:

1 cup soft shortening, part butter
1 ½ cup sugar
2 eggs

Sift together and stir in:

2 ¾ cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

Roll into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned but still soft. (These cookies puff up at first, then flatten out.) Temperature 400 degrees. Bake 8-10 minutes. Makes about 5 dozen 2 inch cookies. -Susan Ence
