You guessed it - this recipe came for a neighbor when we lived in Sedalia, MO back in the late 70's. She had 2 hungry little boys and was ALWAYS cookin' up something good - and she loved to share, lucky for us!

Ingredients:
1 cup butter (i do not recommend substituting margarine)
11/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
23/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
mix together in a small cereal bowl or plate
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions:
1. Cream together the butter and sugar; add eggs.

4. Place on baking sheet and press each ball down with your fingertips.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, until just lightly browned around edges.
