-1/2 cup butter, softened -1/2 cup shortening (I used butter flavored Crisco) -1 1/2 cups sugar -2 eggs -1 TBSP vanilla -2 3/4 cups flour + 2 TBSP flour -2 tsp cream of tartar -1 tsp baking soda -1/2 tsp salt -cinnamon/sugar mixture (3 TBSP sugar + 2 tsp cinnamon) 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 2. Cream together butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. Shape dough by rounded spoonfuls into balls. 3. Mix the 3 TBSP sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll balls of dough in mixture, then spoon cinnamon-sugar mixture over each cookie, turning once and doing the same on the other side. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. 4. Bake for 8 minutes exactly! Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheets for an additional 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
