1 C Shortening

3 C flour

3/4 Cup chopped nuts
Blend sugars, salt and shortening. Beat eggs into mixture one at a time. Stir in flour sifted with soda, add nuts. Shape into at least 2 logs about 2.5 ” wide and high. Wrap in Waxed paper and chill several hours. Cut into slices 1/4 ” thick and bake at 375 for 8 – 10 min
These were always made for Christmas after we had gotten the huge order of nuts that would mostly be used to make Fruit Cakes by our ward to sell. They money was put towards the Building fund. We always liked to go to the church when the sisters were baking. It was a huge project.
