Lofthouse Cookies

Okay, so I just ate 3 of these cookies, they are my favorite! I got this recipe a long time ago and I found it in my E-mail. I have never tried to make them. I thought that I would throw it out there and see if anyone else wants to try to make them. You will have to let me know if they taste as good as the real thing!

Lofthouse Cookies:

2 eggs

2 C. sugar

2 C. cream

2/3 tsp.

Salt 2 tsp.

baking soda 2 tsp.

baking powder

2 C. shortening (Lard)

Vanilla to taste Enough flour to form a soft ball (She told me that the key to making soft, fluffy cookies is to add a lot of flour. But she didn't tell me how much. ) I assume that you just mix all of the ingredients together because there are no special directions listed. Bake at 350º (again no specified time) and the cookies need to stay white.

Icing:

1 pkg. powdered sugar

1 egg

1 can condensed milk (for spreading)

1 tsp shortening

1 tsp butter
