The simpler the food, the fresher and sweeter must be the flavor of its ingredients. That is why Crisco, with its own pure sweet flavor, is the only shortening I would think of using in making these delicate ice cream wafers. And just taste how good they are!
Ingredients
1/2cupCrisco
1/2cupsugar
1eggwell beaten
3/4cupflour
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspoonvanilla
Directions
Blend Crisco and sugar thoroughly. Add egg, beaten until velvety. Then add flour sifted with salt. Beat vigorously, add flavoring and drop on Criscoed cookie sheet like small marbles, well apart. Put a nut meat in center of each cookie and bake 10 minutes in moderate (350 degrees F.) oven. The finished product is a crisp, rich wafer about the color of French ice cream. This makes about 25 cookies.
