Lipizzan - shortening can mean different things to different people but it is basically any type of fat or lard. I think for most people now-a-days (at least here in the south), shortening indicates to use Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening. www.crisco.com/products/shortening-17 Back in my grandmother's day, she used grease/fat that rendered off of cooking meat like bacon. You could probably substitute butter or margarine in mingiz's recipe and get the same result. |

Coming from South East Oklahoma next to the Texas line Dixie makes those cookies but a slightly different name. The first time she made them for me she called them Cow pie cookies. She did tell me later that the real name was cowboy cookies. She made them large also. About three times the size of her standard dropped cookies. She thought she could gross me out I think. Didn't work as not much does.
