Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon divided
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 cup lard
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheets; set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon; set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together lard and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Stir flour mixture into lard mixture to form a stiff dough.
In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Roll balls in cinnamon mixture. Place on ungreased cookie sheets 2 inches apart.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottom of cookies are golden (tops and edges will remain pale). Cool cookies for 3-5 minutes, or until set (transferring without crumbling) then transfer to wire racks.
