4 1/2 c. sifted flour
3/4 c. sugar
2/3 c. pure lard
2 whole eggs
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Cinnamon and sugar mixture

Mix flour and sugar in a large bowl. Add lard to dry ingredients and blend well. Add eggs and knead by hand in bowl until ingredients are blended and dough is smooth. Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll into small balls about the size of a nickel.

Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake about 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees (until golden brown). Remove sheets from oven onto wire racks and cool slightly.

Using a spatula, remove two or three cookies at a time from cookie sheet. Gently place on platter on which you have put the cinnamon and sugar (1 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon mixed). Coat generously and with slotted spoon remove to serving platter. Makes 6- 7 dozen.
