2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

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.

Place dough balls in cinnamon-sugar and roll or shake until coated. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
