- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Yields:
-
24 cookies
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt, finely ground (I used Fleur De Sel)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon, ground
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt, finely ground (I used Fleur De Sel)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl cream together shortening and sugar with a mixer (handheld or stand) at medium speed until fluffy. Add salt, baking soda, cream of tartar, egg and vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low and add in flour 1/2 cup at a time until thoroughly incorporated. If your mixer tires out, you may need to work in the last bit of flour by hand.
- In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, sugar and sea salt.
- Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
- Place dough balls 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet (or parchment paper per your preference) and bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies spread out, appear crackled and no longer appear gooey in the center.
- Remove from cookie sheet and cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
