My aunt Sis used to work summers as a cook for a California Division of Forestry firefighting crew. These were one of their favorites (and mine!) Ingredients:
1 cup shortening |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
2 3/4 cups flour |
2 teaspoons cream of tartar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Cream shortening, 1-1/2 cups sugar, and eggs.
2. Sift flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt together and add to sugar mixture.
3. Mix together 2 tbsp sugar and cinnamon.
4. Roll dough into balls the size of small walnuts and roll in cinnamon sugar.
5. Place two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 400°F for ten minutes, or until lightly browned.
6. Cookies will puff up, then flatten out with crinkled tops.
