Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350.
Cream sugars and shortening and butter. Add egg and vanilla to creamed mixture.
Add all dry ingredients and blend well.
Roll small bits of dough into balls and dip one end slightly into a small bowl of water then into a small bowl of sugar... just to lightly coat the one side.
Bake sugar side up for 8-9 minutes or until bottom browns.
Allow to cool for a short time (just enough to set) on cookie sheet, then transfer to wire baker's rack to complete cooling. For a crispier cookie cool on spread newspaper or brown bag to absorb and extra oil.
