Nothing tastes more like fall than these scrumptious cookies. I grew up in Minnesota and the recipe originated from a woman in Benson, MN. They were featured in the Betty Crocker™ Cookie book – the first cookbook I bought with birthday money from my grandpa.

These cookies are a generational family favorite. They were my husband’s favorite and my daughters and grandsons love them too! They are the perfect after school treat with a cold glass of milk.

Let your kids help by rolling the cookies into balls and coating with cinnamon-sugar mix. YUM!

INGREDIENTS

1½ cups sugar

½ cup butter, softened

½ cup solid shortening

2 eggs

2¾ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. Mix 1½ cups sugar, butter and shortening in large bowl. Stir in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.

4. Mix ¼ cup sugar and the cinnamon. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
5. Place 2-inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
