Snickerdoodles

Brought by Eliza Fajen

Mix thoroughly:
1 cup shortening
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs

Shift together and stir in:
2 3/4 cup of sifted flour
2 teaspoons of cream of tarter
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt

Roll into balls the size of walnuts.  Roll in mixture of 2 TB of sugar and 2 tsp of cinnamon.  Place on ungreased baking sheet.  Bake until lightly browned, but still soft.  These cookies will puff up, then flatten out.  Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
