Don't know how these cookies got their name, but they stay soft and the frosting does, too! I usually tint the frosting with a little food coloring just to make them more festive. Ingredients:
2 cups shortening |
2 cups white sugar |
5 eggs |
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 cup butter |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 pound confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 deg. F (180 deg. C).
2. Cream together shortening and granulated sugar.
3. Beat in 4 eggs, then stir in flour, salt and baking soda.
4. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls on to ungreased cookie sheets.
5. Bake at 350 deg. F (180 deg. C) for 10 to 12 minutes.
6. Prepare frosting by combining melted butter, vanilla, 1 egg, and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Frost cookies when they are cool.
