Got to be the easiest cookie to make ever. They have a wide range of variations and they appear in every cookbook - as drop cookies. Cream together the shortening and sugar and egg. Stir in the dry ingredients. Cool slightly and then remove from the cookie sheet.
Cookies are little cakes.
Ice if you wish or serve plain. Recipe makes a full cookie sheet - not much more. To get a rounded teaspoon, use a round sugar-spoon. To the plain jumbles or the Jubilee jumbles, add 1 Cup moist, shredded coconut. Nut Jumbles Stir in 2 Cups chopped nuts to the jumble dough.
