Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheets. Cream sugar, butter and shortening. Beat in eggs, vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in flour just until blended. Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Shape dough into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar and cinnamon. If dough is too soft, dust hands with sugar and cinnamon. Place on baking sheet 2 inches apart, bake 6 to 7 minutes or until set around edges. The cookies will be soft. Cook on rack.
