I need to preface this recipe by making an important note!  This recipe calls for shortening.  If you don’t have it and substitute butter for it, make sure to use less of it (I’ll note that in the recipe) other wise they come out a little flatter like mine look here.  I completely forgot which is embarrassing, considering how many times I’ve made this cookie, but guess what?  They taste just as delicious and you won’t want to eat one or two…try three or four and so on….with a tall glass of milk.  MmmmHmmm….they’re oh soooooo good.  Ok, I’ve warned you.  So if you’re counting calories, you are not allowed to eat these because one is just not sufficient….ha!  Seriously though.
