Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, (298 grams)
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening, (227 grams )
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, (354 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Coating

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Make the cookie dough. In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well blended. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until combined. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
  • Prep the oven and baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line the baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Make the cinnamon-sugar. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon.
  • Shape and coat the cookie dough. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in the sugar-cinnamon coating mixture. Place on the baking sheets, leaving 1 1/2 inches of space between them.

  • Bake. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until set but not too firm. The crackled areas should look slightly moist. They won't crackle as much if you use butter in this recipe.
  • Cool and store. Cool the cookies in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container or food storage bag for up to 2 weeks or refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
