Crack Cookies

2 cups shortening
5 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons cream of tartar
4 teaspoons soda
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cream sugars and shortening together. Then add eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients together and mix into shortening mixture. Drop by teaspoons onto cookie sheet and bake at 350° for 12 minutes


NOTES : These are called "crack" cookies because they look cracked. You can divide the mixture and make different types of cookies by adding chocolate chips to some, coconut to another bunch or simply roll dough in cinnamon sugar and they're snickerdoodles. Really a great cookie recipe.
