  • 1 cup lard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1.8 ounces walnuts (1/2 cup whole)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Cream brown sugar and lard. Add egg.

  • Step 2: Sift dry ingredients. Add to creamed mixture.

  • Step 3: Cut walnuts with knife but don't chop. (I don't see the reasoning behind this, but that's how recipe reads.).

  • Step 4: Form into long rolls.

  • Step 5: Let stand all night in cool place in refrigerator.

  • Step 6: Cut into thin rounds.

  • Step 7: Bake in 350 degree oven (directions say moderate oven) for 10 minutes. I'm guessing time until the cookies brown, guys.
