Recipe for 'Snickerdoodles' by 'Boodlebtl'

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup shortening
8 Tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus 3 Tablepoons
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.

With a handheld or standing mixer, beat together the shortening and butter. Add the 1-1/2 cups sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour mixture and blend until smooth.

Mix the 3 Tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the dough, by hand, into 1-1/2 inch balls. Roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar. Flatten the balls into 1/2-inch thick disks, spacing them evenly on unlined cookie sheets. Bake until light brown, but still moist in the center, about 12 minutes. Cool on a rack.
