Ingredients

Cookies:

1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Cinnamon sugar coating:

2 tbsp white sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Make cookies: Beat sugar, butter, shortening, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
Whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Gradually mix dry ingredients mixture into the wet ingredients just until combined. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls.
Make cinnamon-sugar: Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl or zip-top plastic bag.
Place dough balls in cinnamon-sugar and roll or shake until coated. Place 2 inches apart on un-greased baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until set but not too hard, 8 to 10 minutes, switching racks halfway through.
Remove from the oven and immediately transfer to wire racks to cool.
