How to Make Pound Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1 ½-inch balls.
- Place the balls onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Dip the bottom of a small glass in flour and gently press down on each cookie ball to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before dipping.
- While cookies cool, prepare the cinnamon-sugar mixture by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- Once cool, gently dip the tops of the cookies into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Let the excess cinnamon-sugar fall off and place on a wire rack to set.
