I have an old magasine withh the recipe in it. The only big differance is it calls for 2 cups flour not 3. My favorite cookie!
This recipe was very dry when cooked as directed. However I add an extra egg and one cup milk and they turned out much better and very chewy. Great recipe with the added ingredients.
I have a recipe for these but mine just calls for 2 cups of flour so that is why the 4 stars and not 5. We also like to interchange with different things like m&m's raisins chopped nuts craisins etc... Usually add 3/4 a cup of the added ingredients. Do NOT try using a mixer to blend the flour mixture to the shortening/sugar/egg mixture!!! You will burn up a mixer in no time flat! It is a very thick dough but if made with 2 cups flour they are very good!
very good - make sure to use one cup less flour or to add milk and egg like another reviewer recommended. Both "solution" take care of the dryness
I thought that this recipe had wAAAAY too much dry ingredients for the amount of wet ingredients called for but instead of following my instincts I followed the recipe to the letter. What a mess! I added 1/2 cup more shortening 1 more egg and a bit of milk. I also used butter flavor shortening because I like the buttery taste. If not for the error in the ingredients I would rate these cookies as 4 stars. Now I will always check reviews before I try a new recipe. Lesson learned.
I cut back on the flour and added double the salt and vanilla plus added a heaping teaspoon of cinnamon. There are really wonderful cookies and bring back a great memory. Thank you Karen
I was looking for a ranger cookie recipe to enter i LA Country Fair well I used this one and I took 3rd place. IT was my first time usig this recipe I did however add extra 1/2 cup of real butter and they turned out wonderful
I made these last year in my christmas cookie assortment and they were great once I added milk and an egg to the second batch. I am making them again this year with one less cup of flour and that will do the trick. Rave reviews from all. Trust me they are too dry if you don't reduse the flour. I sifted the flour and it was still too much. It was probably an error in typing the recipe for the web.
This recipe would be 4 stars if you remove 1 cup of flour. My mother has had the exact recipe since the med 1950's. but hers calls for 2 cups of flour not 3; and that makes a fairly stiff dough.
