Fork Cookies
Fork Cookies Recipe Card Front
Front of the recipe card for Fork Cookies.
There is not a back with the instructions.
I would do the basic creaming of the sugar, vanilla, and eggs first then sift the dry ingredients and marry the two.
I will make these one day trying 350 degrees first and see what happens.

I found this same recipe in my Great Grandmothers cookbook, that I am testing recipes from. I just found it interesting that it was here. Thanks for posting.
