- 1/2 lb. butter
- 1/4 lb. lard
- 4 cups flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
Let butter and lard sit on counter till softened at room temperature. Cream butter and lard. Gradually add sugar. Gradually add flour. Divide into 3 parts (I’m not sure why you do this). Scoop into balls using an ice cream scoop or coolie scoop. Flatten/shape into cookies 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. They should still be almost white, just slightly beginning to turn brown.
Grandma Morgenegg (Lee Morgenegg)used this recipe and they remind me a lot of my Grandma Morgenegg’s cookies (Ruth Morgenegg)
This is the recipe from my Great Great Grandma Elizabeth Hood. She is the Grandma of Grandma Ruth Morgenegg my grandma.
This is my grandma Ruth Morgenegg’s recipe. She obviously forgot to type in sugar and added it later. I wonder if she meant to add 1 1/2 cups.
