There were nine children in our family and Mother had to stretch the budget, so she made these often for dessert. I loved them when I was a child, and they're still a special treat. In fact, I've never met anyone who doesn't like these cookies. They're so simple and quick to make.

Can I substitute butter for the shortening in these cookies?

Excellent and easy to make. Not quite like Grandma's but the grands should have a wonderful time helping making these treats!
