Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup unsalted butter (, at room temperature (1 stick or 1/4 pound))

  • In a large bowl or the bowl of your mixer, cream the shortening, butter, and sugar at medium high speed thoroughly until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, and mix thoroughly.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low, and slowly add the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming soggy.
