List of Ingredients



• 2 1/2 cups sugar
  
• 2 cups vegetable shortening
  
• 3 eggs
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1 T molasses
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  
• 5 1/2 cups flour, sifted
  






Instructions



1. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar, shortening and eggs. Dissolve the soda in the molasses; stir into the sugar mixture. Add the salt, vanilla, and pecans. Stir in the flour in several batches.
   
2. Place 1 1/2 to 2 cups of dough on wax paper. Using the paper, firmly roll the dough into a log about 9" long and 1 1/2" diameter. Twist the wax paper at both ends to seal. Repeat until all of the dough is rolled. Store in plastic bags in the refrigerator overnight or until quite firm.
   
3. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the dough into 1/4" slices. Bake on ungreased baking sheets for 8 minutes, or until golden brown.
