    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°. For spiced sugar, mix first 6 ingredients.
    2. In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening, sugar and 2 tablespoons spiced sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in baking chips.

    4. Bake until set, 11-13 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
