Snickerdoodles
 * 1/2 cup shortening
 * 1/2 butter
 * 1 1/2 cups white sugar
 * 2 eggs
 * 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
 * 1 teaspoon baking soda
 * 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
 * 1/2 teaspoon salt
 * 2 tablespoons white sugar
 * 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


 * 1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
 * 2) In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening/butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Stir in the eggs. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. In a small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the cinnamon. Roll dough into walnut sized balls, then roll the balls in the cinnamon-sugar. Place them onto an unprepared cookie sheet, two inches apart.
 * 3) Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be slightly brown. Remove from sheets to cool on wire racks.
