Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for topping mix. Set aside.
  3. In large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, the margarine, shortening, vanilla and eggs. I find the texture of the cookies best if I stick to this margarine/shortening ratio.
  4. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
  5. Mix thoroughly into wet mixture (eggs/butter, etc).
  6. Shape into balls- I usually make a heaping teaspoonful-depends on your preference.
  7. Roll tops of balls into sugar/cinnamon mixture to coat.
  8. Place approximately 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes until set.
  9. Remove cookies immediately from sheet to rack to cool.
  10. TIP- I find best results also when I refrigerate the dough/balls between batches until they are baked. This keeps them from spreading out as much.
  11. ENJOY! ;).
