Recipe by: Midwest Living, August 1995 Preheat oven to 375 degrees; grease cookie sheets. In a mixing bowl, beat the shortening with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; beat until mixed. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls; roll in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Place 2 inches apart on

the cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the cookies and cool completely on a wire rack. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B). -----
