My grandma made these cookies when I was a kid. The recipe is from her grandma. The original recipe called for 1.5 cups of 'shortening' (which would've been grease saved from cooking). I remember my grandmother used half butter & half Crisco (vegetable shortening), which is what I have here. You can use all butter as well.
