1. Mix together thoroughly the shortening, sugar and eggs.
2. Sift together and stir in flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. Roll into balls the size of small walnuts.
3. Roll in mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.

I had misplaced my recipe and used this one instead. It is excellent and made exactly 60 cookies as promised. I have added it to my own collection now. Many thanks for sharing.

My recipe for these is long gone, but I used to make them all the time when my sons were growing up. It didn't take long for a batch to disappear. Thank you for adding your recipe to the data base. They were perfect and I'm certain that I will be making them often once more.
