    Recipe



    Heat oven to 350F.

    In bowl, beat shortening, 1/2 c sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; beat well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Shape dough into 3/4" balls. Place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheets; flatten balls to 1/8" thickness with bottom of glass dipped in 1/4 c sugar.
