 Angela Robinson (United States) says:
I made this exact recipe from my 1955 Swift & Company Cooky Recipes Book! They are delicious! I had to use lard instead of shortening and I only had maybe 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla left, the batter tasted very flat at that point, so I added 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted and cooled butter, if the dough sticks to your fork when pressing down, I pressed fork into powdered sugar first. These are the best cookies ever! Light, crispy, buttery sugar cookie. Excellent
