Cinnamon Jumbles

 

I remembered a cinnamon cookie mom made when we were kids, and she found the recipe for me! I remember liking them, but after making them recently, I do like snickerdoodles better, but it's still fun to save this childhood memory.

1/2 C shortening (butter/margarine)

1 C sugar

1 egg

3/4 C buttermilk

1 t vanilla

2 C flour

1/2 t soda

1/2 t salt

1/4 C sugar

1 t cinnamon

Mix shortening, sugar, egg thoroughly. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla. Blend flour, soda, salt. Stir in. Chill dough.

Bake 2" apart at 400 on greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake 8-10 min until set but not brown. Makes about 4 doz 2" cookies.
