Snickerdoodles

Ingredients:
1 1/2 C. sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 C. shortening
2 eggs
2 3/4 C. flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
additional sugar and cinnamon for dusting cookies

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400*. Cream butter and sugar with shortening and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in dry ingredients. Shape dough into balls. Mix your cinnamon and sugar in a pie tin or on a paper plate. Roll balls in mixture and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet (a silpat is wonderful). Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. They still appear the color of a sugar cookie, do not burn them.
