This is one of the first cookies I learned to make. The recipe can be halved and baked in an 8 x 8-inch pan, or a 9-inch pie plate. In my younger days I didn't have as complete kitchen as I do now. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening or 1/2 cup salad oil |
2 cups brown sugar, packed |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/2 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chopped nuts |
1 cup chocolate chips (optional) |
Directions:
1. Melt shortning in saucepan over low heat.
2. Remove from heat and mix in sugar egg and vanilla.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients.
4. Spread in greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
5. Bake 25 minutes at 350°F.
6. While warm, cut into squares.
