Welcome to Gaia! ::

These are seriously the best I've ever had....even better than my moms (she even admitted it) The dough is really ooey-gooey but they turn out amazing....

Can't take credit though; got it from recipezaar

Dough

* 3 1/2 cups flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 2 cups granulated sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1/4 cup milk
* 1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping

* 3 tablespoons sugar
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

For the dough:.

In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in the dry ingredients.

Form the dough into 1 inch balls. Place on a greased baking sheet and flatten.

For the topping:.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle the top of the cookie before baking.

Bake 8 minutes or until cooked through.



P.S. I didn't follow exactly; refrigerated dough for 2 hours, and rolled them in cinnamon-sugar mixture. They turned out better this way. 8 mins is perfect; no more no less time

If you add a 1/2 cup of shortening to anything it'll turn out good! *laughs!* I'll have to try this one, this is one of my favorite cookies.
