1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 c. sifted flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Then add 2 cups of cut up nuts (Brazil, pecans or walnuts). Then drop rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until delicately brown. Cookies will still be soft. Cool slightly and remove with spatula.
