2 1/2 c. sifted flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tbsp. milk
1 egg
1/2 c. Crisco
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar

Mix Crisco and butter. Add sugar and beat well. Add egg and beat again. Add sifted dry ingredients with milk and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.

I sometimes substitute lemon flavor or grated lemon rind or orange rind. Good and easy to make.
