2 c. butter
2 c. shortening
2 c. powdered sugar
2 c. granulated sugar
4 eggs
8 c. flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. nutmeg

Cream butter, shortening and sugars well. Add eggs one at a time and beat until well mixed. Sift flour, cream of tartar and soda together. Add to creamed mixture when well mixed and add vanilla and nutmeg. This makes a large batch, amount depends on size of drops. A #40 scoop = 120 cookies. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. May vary by adding nuts or coconut.
