My sister Nancy asked me to include this. Our Grandmother-Mom Thompson from Stigler Oklahoma always made these when we came to visit. They were always so soft and simple. We loved them!
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup soft shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg white
Sift flour, soda, salt. Mix shortening, sugar, and egg yolk till very light and fluffy. Mix in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk; then mix in vanilla. Fold in egg white, beaten stiff. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls, 3" apart, onto greased cookie sheet. With spatula, flatten till 1/2" thick. If desired, sprinkle with sugar mixed with chopped nuts, raisins, or grated lemon rind. Bake 375 for 20 min., or until golden brown. Makes 1 1/2 dozen.
