A MAN'S COOKIE



A Man's Cookie image

This is a recipe I got from my neighbor, Dottie, who is a great cook. It's simple and similar to other cookies on this site, but not exactly...as far as I know. You might want to double the recipe because it only makes about 3 dozen.

Steps:

  • Cream together shortening and sugars. Add egg and vanilla and blend well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Roll into walnut sized balls and place on ungreased sheets. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 10-12 minutes or until barely brown or they'll be too crispy when cool.

POOR MAN'S COOKIES

In the 1930s, producers of a popular radio program called Jake and Lena invited listeners to write in for this recipe. My mother changed the name from Jake and Lena Cookies to Poor Man's Cookies because they contained no eggs, milk or nuts. Despite the name, the cookies are rich in taste!
