Servings: 15 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter room temperature
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cinnamon and sugar mixture
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Cream together the butter, shortening and sugar.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
- Add in the flour, baking powder and cornstarch.
- Scoop the dough into balls and roll in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. (Hint: put the cinnamon and sugar in a baggie and shake a few cookie dough balls at a time! My kids loved helping with this!)
- Place the cinnamon and sugar covered cookie dough balls onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350° for 8 minutes, or until the center of the cookie no longer looks glossy.
- The cookies will still be very much in a ball shape when they come out of the oven.
- Use the back of a drinking glass to gently flatten the cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the pan before moving or serving.
- Store in an air tight container.
