Snickerdoodles

2 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

Cream together the shortening, sugar and eggs at low speed. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until the batter becomes dough-like. Chill dough until easy to handle.

Mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough into balls and roll the balls in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Place balls on a cookie sheet and flatten slightly.

Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes.
