Ingredients:
2 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups Butter Flavor Crisco ( do not sub butter for Crisco!)
2 large eggs
1 -2 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups all-purpose flour ( do not sift)
4 teaspoons cream of tartar
3 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar, mixed with
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon ( for rolling)
Directions:
Set oven to 350F.
In a extra large mixing bowl (I use my kitchen aid stand mixer for this), cream/mix the shortening, both sugars, eggs and vanilla until very well blended and fluffy.
In a smaller bowl mix together (do not sift) the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, with a spoon.
Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat well until blended.
Roll into walnut size balls (or larger if desired).
Roll into the cinnamon/sugar mixture, making sure that the balls are well coated.
Place on a foil-lined lightly sprayed cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.
***NOTE*** for a crispier cookie, bake longer.
