Ha! I don't know !RUSS, you may not want to eat them yourself. I think I left something out. That 50 dozen I took to R2K1 lasted for two days. That's not at all normal. In fact, I think there was a small bag of sugar cookies left when it was all done. Hmmmmm!! Maybe I'm losing it. Course, they were parked right next to Joe's new boat. Everyone that went for a cookie was sidetracked by that boat. Me included. I'll definitely try harder next year. I may have to build my stripper " Jewel Quality " and put the cookies in the cockpit and hatches to get the attention.

Hope you like them, and I'm patiently waiting for the Good Stuff. I'm thinking of a new recipe at this moment. Imagine this:

2 1/2 cups..... flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1/2 tsp. Coriander

****************************

3/4 cup Butter Flavored Crisco ( only )

1 cup light brown sugar ( packed )

1/2 cup granulated C & H sugar ( only )

2 Extra Large Eggs

2 Tbsp. the " Good Stuff "

*****************************************8

Sift the flour mix together. Set aside

******************************************

Blend and Whip shortening, eggs, sugars and " Good Stuff " until light and creamy ( fluffy )

Then blend in flour mix with fork until all flour mix is wetted and stick in frig. until chilled. ( around 1 hr. )

Scoop out in rounded table-spoon fulls

Lightly grease cookie sheets and bake in preheated oven for 7 minutes at 350* for soft and 9 minutes for slightly crunchy.

For a variation, pull out of the oven after 4 or 5 minutes and sprinkle sugar over them and replace in oven. Watch for light golden Rehdbrown color.

Give it a try....... Cookie to be named later!!

All others interested, contact !RUSS for secret ingredient.
