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

Mix thoroughly the shortening, sugar, and eggs. Sift together the dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture. Chill dough, roll into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoon cinnamon. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, but still soft. These cookies puff up at first then flatten out with crinkled tops. Bake 8-10 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Yield approximately 5 dozen 2 inch cookies.
