My mom made these as a kid for us. Still a classic in our family. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1 cup crisco (or 2 cups butter) |
3 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
5 1/2 cups flour |
4 teaspoons cream of tartar |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons sugar (topping) |
4 teaspoons cinnamon (topping) |
Directions:
1. Cream together crisco and sugar.
2. Add eggs.
3. Mix together flour, tartar, baking soda and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the sugar and crisco mix to form a soft cookie dough.
5. Pinch off and roll the dough into little balls.
6. Roll the balls into the sugar and cinnamon topping mixture.
7. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart.
8. Using a fork, lightly smash the tops of the balls for decoration.
9. Bake at 350 degrees.
