Makes about 4 dozen (2 inch) cookies.

Made with buttermilk, soft and cake-like. So easy that making them is a thrill for the girls in the Home Economics classes each year,' according to Miss Sarah M. Knight of Buffalo, New York. And even her little sixth-graders report making them with great success in their own homes!

Preheat oven to 400F (moderately hot oven).

Mix together thoroughly:
1/2 cup soft shortening (part butter)
1 cup sugar
1 egg

Stir in:
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla

Sift together and stir in:
2 cups sifted GOLD MEDAL Flour
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Chill dough.

Drop rounded teaspoonfuls about two inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with mixture of sugar and cinnamon (1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon).

Bake 8-10 minutes or until set but not brown.
