FARMER COOKIES

A good, old fashioned, mid-western cookie! We grew up eating these cookies. My grandma made them often! This recipe calls for melting the shortening and then creaming it with the sugar. I think that is the secret to making these cookies so crispy and light!

This is an old-fashioned cookie recipe I used a lot while working in a kitchen over the summer. Not overly sweet and the Cornflakes offer a unique crunchiness.
