Instruction for Chinese Cookies

• 1 1/2 cups shortening
• 1 egg

Ingredients of Chinese Cookies

• In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening. Stir in the egg and vanilla, beat until light and fluffy.
• Combine the cake flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture. Dough will be stiff, you may need to use your hands to mix. Roll dough into a log about 15 inches long, and roll in the ground nuts. Wrap and chill dough for at least an hour or until firm.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing to cool completely on wire racks. When cool, place a dollop of fudge icing onto the center of each cookie.
