Little Tea Rags
These cookies are a change from the baked form of cookies as they are deep-fried. Try to keep the fat/oil at a temperature range of 375 to 385°F for optimal results.

Beat eggs until light. Add in milk and sugar, then shortening and vanilla, last the flour and salt. Take about one quarter of the dough and roll wafer thin, very thin. Take a fork and cut into uneven pieces. Brown in hot oil until golden on both sides, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels and dust with confectioner’s sugar.

Snickerdoodles
One of the basics of cookie recipes. For cinnamon sugar, take 1 cup of sugar and start out with 1 t of cinnamon, adding more or less as your tastes desire.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cream shortening with sugar until light. Add in eggs one at time, mixing well after each addition. Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture, then cover and chill dough for 1/2 hour or until firm enough to handle. Gather walnut-size pieces of dough and roll into a ball. Roll each ball in cinnamon sugar and place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until light brown. The tops will be cracked, and you want the centers to be soft, so don't overbake. Let rest on baking sheet 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
