It has become a fast favorite of mine.

1/2 half cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbls ground cinnamon 2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp cream of tatar
2 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 tsp. grated orange peel
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp salt

Recipe



In a mixing bowl cream butter, shortening and sugars.
Add eggs and extracts, mix well.
Combine the next 8 ingredients; gradually add to the creamed mixture.
Shape into 1 inch balls; roll in sugar.
Place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 350º for 10 to 15 min. until lightly browned.

My note: I press the balls down with a glass dipped in the sugar.
