  2. Mix together 1 1/2 cups white sugar, shortening, and eggs with an electric mixer in a bowl until creamy.

  4. Mix together 1/4 cup white sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl or on a plate.

  5. Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls, cover each in sugar and cinnamon mixture. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
