Cream shortening, add sugar and cream some more. Add eggs and beat. Mix all dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture. At this point you may chill the dough, roll out and cut cookies.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Marion Mainland Cummings always made these cookies with homemade mincemeat that did not have any meat.
The green tomato mincemeat gives the cookies an unusual flavor. Sue
(Grandma Mainland made her own mincemeat and the cookies for me several times. She sent a box of them to me at camp. Even though she sent them more than 50 years ago I still salivate with the memory. Molly)
