    List of Ingredients




    Fidos Famous Honey Party Cookies


    1 cup vegetable shortening *
    1 teaspoon unsalted butter *
    1/4 cup egg whites
    1/4 cup honey
    Food coloring; optional
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    1/4 cup cheddar cheese; finely grated
    Sesame seeds; optional

    Recipe




    * For even crunchier cookies, use only 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butte


    In a large bowl, beat shortening and butter with an electric mixer at high speed until creamy.


    Add egg whites and honey; beat until smooth. Beat in food coloring, if desired.


    Combine flour, garlic powder and cheese. Beat into shortening mixture. Stir in more foodcoloring if you like.

    Gather dough into a ball. Divide it i
    n half, then in fourths and so on until you have 36 small

    pieces. Flour your hands and roll the pieces into balls. (Or, use a pastry bag to shape the

    cookies.) Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet, then use a floured fork to gently

    flatten them in a crisscross design. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.


    Bake in a preheated 325-degree oven until firm, about 10 minutes. (To make the cookies

    crunchier, after baking, turn off the heat and leave them in the oven about 5 minutes, first

    running a spatula under each one so they won't stick to the pan.)
