     The recipe came frommy aunt, Waunita Jeffries Bateman. It originally called for solid shortening  but my mom, Phyllis Jeffries Newell, changedit to oil as she thought the dough was a bit dry.      Barry tried one of these cookies and thought they might be aptly named, after quite a few more, he was sure!
