Directions:
Great Grandma's Cookies and rightly they are named.
IF they are gone in a jiffy no one can be blamed.
Take one cup sugar and half a cup of lard.
Cream these together, add eggs and beat hard.
One scant teaspoon of soda, now put in a cup.
Add hot water and now twill foam up.
Sift flour and place in a bowl.
Mix smoothly and swiftly, and then neatly roll.
If the dough is too soft a little flour add.
I'll assure better cookies no one ever had.
