Brown Sugar Refrigerator Cookies
Donna Smith
Ingredients
1 cup shortening
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup chopped nuts
Directions
Cream together shortening, sugar and eggs. In another bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar. Gradually add this to the sugar mixture. Stir in nuts and vanilla.
Shape into two rolls and wrap in plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator until ready to bake.
Slice in 1/4-inch-thick rounds and bake at 375 degrees F about five minutes.
Suggestions
Keep a roll in the refrigerator and you'll always have fresh-baked cookies. Slice off as many as you need, then put the remaining back for later use. Make sure to chop the nuts into small pieces for easier slicing.
