CHRISTY'S SNICKERDOODLES

This is my daughter's popular cookie recipe.

1 cup shortening
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cream shortening, the 1 1/2 cups sugar, and eggs together. Add the cream of tartar, salt, and baking soda; mix well. Stir in the flour and mix well. Mix the 2 tbsp of sugar and the cinnamon together in a small bowl. Roll the cookie dough into small balls and roll balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake at 400 degrees on a ungreased cookie sheet for 8 to 10 minutes.
