INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup shortening
* 1 1/2 cups white sugar
* 2 eggs
* 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoons white sugar
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Stir in the eggs. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. In a small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the cinnamon. Roll dough into walnut sized balls, then roll the balls in the cinnamon-sugar. Place them onto an unprepared cookie sheet, two inches apart.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be slightly brown. Remove from sheets to cool on wire racks.
