SNICKERDOODLES
1 cup soft shortening (may use butter or margarine, I use butter flavored crisco)
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cup sifted flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon mixed in a bowl for rolling cookies in before baking.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix shortening (or margarine/butter), sugar and eggs thoroughly. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. Add to egg mixture. Roll into balls and roll into cinnamon/sugar mixture. Bake until lightly browned and still soft, about 8 minutes. These cookies puff up first and then flatten out. Cool on pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack.
