1 c. soft shortening
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in small bowl; set aside. Mix together thoroughly shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar and eggs. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt and stir into creamed mixture. Chill dough. Roll into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll each cookie in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Place about 2" apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in 400 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes, lightly brown but still soft. (These cookies puff up at first, then flatten out with crinkled tops.) Makes about 5 dozen 2" cookies.
