Ingredients
-
3/4 c. butter
3/4 c. shortening
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. salt
4 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. nuts, chopped fine
Preparation
-
Cream together butter, shortening and sugars.
Add eggs; cream again.
Sift dry ingredients together.
Add to creamed mixture; blend.
Stir in vanilla and nuts.
This is a stiff dough.
Mold into long squares or rectangles, or press into foil boxes or juice cans, to shape.
Refrigerate overnight or freeze.
Slice thin. Place 1/2 inch apart on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 450\u00b0 for 7 to 8 minutes.
Remove from cookie sheet quickly.
Cool on a rack. Empty foil boxes or cans are good \"shapers\" and all cookies will be the same size.
These cookies will keep indefinitely, if you hide them!
