2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
1 cup shortening
4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 cup chopped nuts
Mix all ingredients (except the nuts) thoroughly. Stir the nuts in by hand.
Roll the dough into ropes about 2″ thick. Cut in thin slices. Cross-press with a fork to make a design.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8 - 12 minutes.
Yield: 7 - 8 dozen cookies
If you’re looking for unique cookies to make this Christmas - in addition to the traditional favorites - this cookie recipe is very, very simple and uses things that are normally on hand anyway. For the nuts, I think it’s hard to beat plain old peanuts, but almonds would probably be really good, too.
