Nana’s Snickerdoodles

From the kitchen of SteakNPotatoesKindaGurl

• 1 and 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
• 2 eggs
• 2 and 3/4 cups sifted flour
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• equal parts cinnamon and sugar

Cream together the sugar, shortening, and butter in a large bowl. Add beaten eggs, one at a time. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients. Mix well. Roll dough into small balls using heaping teaspoons, and then roll the balls in a mixture of one part cinnamon and one part sugar. Place the small balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Do not flatten the dough balls.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Do not over bake, or they will get hard.
