Ingredients
- 1-3/4 cup White Sugar, Divided
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
- 2-1/2 cups Flour
- 2 teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 8 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
- 1/2 cups Vegetable Shortening
- 2 whole Eggs
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375F with a rack in the middle position. Combine 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon in a shallow rimmed dish for coating and set aside.
- Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Beat the butter, shortening and remaining 11/2 cups of sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, 5 to 6 minutes (it will be very fluffy, like clouds). Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl and beater as needed.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly mix in the flour mixture until combined, about 30 seconds. Give the dough a final stir with a rubber spatula to make sure it is combined.
- Roll into balls about the size of a ping pong ball, then roll in the cinnamon sugar. Place on parchment paper or mat lined baking sheets about 2" apart. Do not press the balls flat!
- Bake until the edges are set and just beginning to brown, but the centers are still puffy, about 10 to 12 minutes.
