1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
1/2 cup real butter (1 cube)
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2-3/4 cups flour
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1-2 Tbl. sour cream (as needed for more moisture)
Roll balls of dough in mixture of:
1/3 cup + 1 Tbl. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
Mix together shortening, butter, sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients and sour cream, if needed. Roll into balls. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 min. Take them out of oven when there are cracks in the top but they are still white. They will be crispy as they cool.
