A classic and by far the most-favorite cookie in my family! My mom used to make these every year when I was little (until I started baking). She used to store them in cookie tins and hide them in the garage before Christmas but my Dad and I always found them! The shortening is what keeps them from getting flat and the reason they stay nice and crunchy!
