1 c. soft Crisco
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

Mix the Crisco, sugar and eggs together thoroughly. Sift dry ingredients and add. Chill dough. Roll into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in mixture of 3 tablespoons sugar and 3 teaspoons cinnamon. Place about 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Do not flatten. Bake until lightly browned but still soft 8 to 10 minutes at 400 degrees. These cookies puff up at first then flatten out with crinkled tops. Makes about 5 dozen.

Coconut cookies may be made by adding 1 cup coconut to dough. Roll in balls and bake. Do not roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
