One of my mom's "everyday" cookies. No special occasion needed, just a day when the Milk turned sour. (0: You may substitute margarine or butter for Crisco. You do not need to replace the nuts with anything if you take them out. This is how my mom usually made them as my sister was allergic to nuts... I had never had them with nuts until she made them with my daughter.
