Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Stir in the eggs. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. In a small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the cinnamon. Roll dough into walnut sized balls, then roll the balls in the cinnamon-sugar. Place them onto an unprepared cookie sheet, two inches apart.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be slightly brown. Remove from sheets to cool on wire racks.

12/23/08 02:06 AM | AOL Saved ChristmasI was looking for a new recipe for these. The one I had produced a batter that was practically impossible to roll and left the cookies entirely too chewy. This is just what I needed. The dough was very easy to work with and the cookies had just the right amount of crunch. This recipe will be used year round. |

12/24/07 12:54 AM | cookies were good but...I might have done something wrong because I could not roll them into a ball. I might have mixed the dough to much which made the dough crumble. so don't over mix. other than that the cookies were GREAT. I mixed them in red and green suger crystals. no complaints from friends and family. |
