This recipe is over 100 years old. These cookies need to be chilled over night, but outside of that they only take about a half hour to make. This recipe makes a lot, but they will keep in a covered jar for a long time. Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar |
1 1/2 cups fat (or 3/4 cup butter or margarine & 3/4 cup crisco) |
3 eggs, beaten |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 1/4 cups nuts, chopped |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon orange extract |
4 cups flour |
Directions:
1. Beat fat and sugars until creamy; add eggs and vanilla, and beat until well mixed.
2. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
3. Divide dough into two long rolls, and place in a narrow pan in the freezer to chill overnight.
4. Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
5. Slice very thin and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 375°F for 8-10 minutes.
6. Remove from pan to cool.
