Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream together the shortening and the sugar.
  • Add eggs and beat until well blended.
  • Blend in flour, soda, baking powder and water.
  • Dough should be firm but not so stiff that the mixer has to strain!
  • Drop cookies by teaspoons onto well-greased cookie sheets. They spread a lot so give them some space.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until you can see the edges turning golden brown.
  • Remove from pan and put on parchment or wax paper to cool.

    I tested them out plain but it took all my will power not to add some flavoring. Still, they ARE good just the way they are.
