Our family regularly makes the dough for these cookies, rolls it into logs, wraps them, and keeps them in the freezer for quick slicing and baking later. The secret that only the truly initiated know is that the tastiest treat of all is to pull out the frozen log and slice cold, sweet discs of dough and eat them raw!<\/p>\n
\u00bd C butter or 1 c shortening
\n1 C brown sugar
\n1 C white sugar
\n2 eggs
