1/2 cup Butter unsalted softened
1/2 cup Shortening softened
1 1/2 cup Sugar

2 3/4 cup Flour baking sifted
2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon Cinnamon
2 tablespoon Sugar fine

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2

in a large bowl, combine the butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar and the eggs and mix thoroughly with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, and stir into the shortening mixture.

In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon.
4

Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (1 tablespoon per ball), and roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar. Arrange the dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake two sheets at a time until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still soft, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Transfer the cookies to wire racks for cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Store in an airtight container.
