Cinnamon Crisps

Cinnamon Crisps

1 cup oleo (2 sticks)
1 t. cinnamon
2 cups self rising flour
1 egg, separated
1 cup sugar
1 cup nuts

Cream oleo and sugar, then add egg yolk. Sift flour and cinnamon together and add sugar mixture. Spread dough out on ungreased cookie sheet. Beat egg white and spread over dough. Press nuts in and bake at 200 degrees until brown -- about 30 minutes or more. Cut before removing from pan while still warm.

For those of you who aren't familiar with oleo. . .that was the original term for margarine (a.k.a. oleo margarine). I prefer to use unsalted butter in this recipe these days.

Moosey's Recipes

When my grandmother died, my mother gave me a box of recipes that belonged to her. I haven't even looked through all of them yet. I am going to try to post them all to share the wealth with the rest of the family. Perhaps my cousins will have recipes to contribute as well.
