INGREDIENTS:
1 C shortening
1 ½ C granular sugar
2 eggs
2 ¾ flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
PROCEDURE:
Combine dry ingredients in bowl and set aside. Cream together shortening, sugar and eggs. Gradually add dry ingredients to mixture. Shape dough into 1” balls and roll into mixture (2 Tbs sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon). Place 2” apart on ungreased baking sheet. These cookies will puff up at first, and then flatten out.
Nothing short of heavenly. Quite sweet, but the extra tart of the cream cheese and cranberries gives just the perfect tart touch to leave you craving just one more.
