Personal Notes:
Buster tells the story of these being his favorite cookies and how Grandma Martinson always had them in a glass cookie jar on the counter in the pantry. Joyce told of how Grandma whipped them up with only a wooden spoon.
Jane makes these with a Kitchen Aid Mixer with the dough hook and mixes all of the ingredients together (including the 5 1/2 cups of flour) and skip the kneading part. Then rolls them out with a little flour on a Tupperware plastic pastry sheet. When you can see the word "Tupperware" throught the dough, they are thin enough. Pam Baking Spray is used on the cookie sheets. Cool them on a rack. Easier to make these cookies with a friend. Hint: If you ever want to "butter up" Buster, send the cookies in the mail first, then ask. These cookies are the way to his heart.
