Overnight cookies

This has been the favorite cookie of our family for generations. Besides tasting delicious to young and old alike, they also stay fresh for a week. And since you put the dough in the freezer, you can bake them anytime you want. You will need.

4 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup Crisco
1/2 cup margarine
4 large eggs
1 T vanilla
3/4 t salt
1 T baking soda
1 T cream of tarter
5 cups flour

Cream the sugar, Crisco and margarine together. Mix the eggs, vanilla, salt, soda and tarter together in another bowl then add to the creamed sugar mixture. Fold the flour in. The dough should be stiff. If it’s too sticky add more flour. Put 1/3 of the dough onto plastic wrap. Work it into a long roll about 1 1/2 inch thick. Do the same with the other thirds and put the plastic covered dough in the freezer overnight. Slice 1/2 inch pieces on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 12 minutes and cool on a rack.
