Shimmering Cinnamon Sugar Cookies
Shimmering Cinnamon Sugar Cookies look like they have been touched by the first winter frost, but they are nice and warm inside. Snickerdoodles recipes like this one will quickly become a family favorite!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons shortening
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- half an egg
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 3/4 cup sifted flour
- 1/2 cream of tartar
- 1/4 baking soda
- 1/8 salt
- 1/8 nutneg.
Instructions
Blend first 4 ingredients. Sift together remaining dry ingredients and stir into wet mixture. Make cinnamon/sugar mixture for use later. Roll dough into balls the size of walnuts. Roll in mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes at 375 degrees or until brown but still soft. (I usually make at least a double batch of these, which greatly simplifies the 1/2 egg ingredient!)
