Snickerdoodles

I think this is my favorite of all the Winter Solstice Celebration Cookies. This is mom's own recipe.

Combine these ingredients thoroughly

• 1 cup shortening
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs

Combine these ingredients

• 2 cups sifted flour
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tbsp vanilla
  

Combine the second group of ingredients with the first

Combine

• 2 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon

Roll the dough created from parts one and two into balls the size of walnuts. Then roll them in the sugar/cinnamon mix. Place the dough balls on a cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake them at 400 degrees (F) for 8 to 10 minutes.
