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

Mix thoroughly butter and 1 1/2 cup sugar. Sift dry ingredients together and beat in creamed mixture. Roll in balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in a mixture of 2 Tbsp. sugar and cinnamon. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.

Bake until lightly browned, but still soft. These cookies puff up at first, then flatten out. Heat oven to 400°F and bake for 8 - 10 minutes.

Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
