A potato masher dipped into flour is also a quick way to flatten these cookies. This recipe is from the Betty Crocker Country Favorites cookbook.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened (or margarine)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or lemon)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Mix sugar, shortening, butter, egg and extract in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients.
3. Shape dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into balls. Place 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork dipped in flour (or use the potato masher!).
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.
