Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream Shortening and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the shortening and 1 1/3 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites at medium speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating at high speed until soft peaks form.
