- 1. Cream together shortening, sugar, egg and vanilla.
- 2. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
- 3. Mix the dry with the wet ingredients.
- 4. Use a cookie scoop or a 2 Tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop and drop cookies onto a cookie sheet.
- 5. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
- 6. Put a 1/4 cup of butter into a sauce pan over medium-medium high heat. The butter will melt and then come to a boil.
- 7. Allow the butter to cook until the bubbles have died down and you are left with a brown butter.
- 8. Add in powder sugar a little at a time. After the sugar has been mixed in, add about a teaspoon of water so the frosting becomes a spreading consistency. If the frosting is watery or it appears the sugar hasn't absorbed all of the butter, add more powedered sugar.
- 9. When the cookies have cooled, gently frost the cookies with the brown butter frosting.

GRANDMA TIBBITTS SUGAR COOKIES
This recipe was handed down from my great grandmother. It took a few years to figure out the exact measures. These cookies are very soft and if you want to use a cutter, the dough should be refrigerated a couple hours. I use a three inch biscuit cutter. You can also drop these if you are short on time. Sprinkle tops with colored sugar or whatever decorative confection you like. These are good plain also.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
- In a large bowl, cream together the lard and sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the buttermilk. The mixture will be very runny at this point. Combine the flour, baking soda, nutmeg and salt; stir into the buttermilk mixture by hand using a wooden spoon. Try not to over mix the dough or the cookies will be dense. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. For cut out cookies, the dough should be refrigerated for a couple of hours. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness and flour your cookie cutter between each cut.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
