White Crackle Cookies Recipe

This is a recipe my mom used to make, and I remembered the tangy taste of the cream of tartar - a pleasant little bite to the cookie. Since I made these over the weekend, I thought I'd share the recipe here.

White Crackle Cookies, Recipe:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Beat together the following ingredients:

1/2 c. white sugar

1/2 c. brown sugar

1 c. shortening

1 egg

1/2 t. salt.

Mix together the following ingredients, then mix into the above ingredients:

2 c. flour

1 t. cream of tartar

1 t. baking soda 

Now stir in

1 t. vanilla. 

Mix well, Roll into 3/4" balls.

Dip tops in cold water, then in white sugar.

Bake on greased jelly roll pan or cookie sheet for 8-12 minutes

(It all depends upon the size of the cookie ball and the pan you're using. I used heavy jellyroll pans and the cookies needed almost 12 minutes.) They should be a very pale golden. Remove from oven and let them finish cooling on the cookie sheet before removing.

I got 2 1/2 dozen cookies out of this batch.

Next time I wouldn't dip them in the sugar before baking, but that's simply a matter of taste.

Note: Since I was making these cookies for someone else, I did not make them gluten free.
