Make a batch of yummy Cinnamon Crinkle Cookies, flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon and orange! Easy to make, the recipe yields 6 dozen.
Preheat oven to 350°F. While oven preheats, cream butter, vegetable shortening, granulated and brown sugars together in large mixing bowl, using electric mixer. Continue beating until it becomes light and fluffy in texture (2-3 minutes). Add egg, vanilla and almond extracts; continue beating until fully incorporated.
In separate bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, lemon and orange peel until combined. Add this, a little at a time, to the creamy butter mixture, beating with each addition, until fully combined.
Form dough into 1" balls, by rolling dough between the palms of your hands, to make approx. 72 dough balls. Place dough balls on wax paper, until all are done.
Place sugar into small bowl (you may need a little more or a little less). Place 2-3 dough balls at a time into sugar; roll them around to coat surface with sugar.
Place dough balls 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Because oven temps vary, check them at the 10 minute mark. Cookies should be crinkled (or crackled) on top when done. Transfer cookies to wire rack; let come to room temp. before serving. Store extras in an air-tight container in pantry OR in freezer. Enjoy!
