Snickerdoodles cookies

2 cups sugar, divided 1 cup Crisco® Butter Shortening OR 1 stick Crisco® Butter Shortening Sticks 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 3/4 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

1. HEAT oven to 400 degrees F.

2. COMBINE 1 1/2 cups sugar, shortening, eggs, milk and vanilla in bowl of electric mixer. Beat at medium speed until well blended.

3. COMBINE flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Add gradually to shortening mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended.

4. COMBINE remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.

5. BAKE 7 to 8 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheets. Place on cooling racks to cool completely. I didn't think these cookies were quite as good as my friend Wendy's. They were okay. But Scott loved them and asked for more when they were gone ;)

in the UK shortening is available under brand names such as Cookeen, Trex, White Flora, etc.
