Jojo wanted the recipe for these cookies and I thought it would be nice for more of you to have it too. They will clog your arteries but they are mighty good! I also thought it would be cute to let you just read the whole email from my dad. He is cute! Here it is:
Ali,
Below is the recipe from grandma's cookbook. The recipe originally came from Aunt Mick in 1955, and they were called Sneakers.
1 cup soft shorteniing 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs
Mix thoughly. Sift and stir in:
2 3/4 cups flour 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chill for a couple hours. Form cookies into balls about the size of walnuts.
Roll balls in a mixture of:
2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in 400 degree oven untill slightly browned.
Mom said to tell you that cream of tartar is a spice, not a dairy product, and can be found in the spice isle. Let us know how they turn out.
Love Dad
