sinces i'm in texas, i will share with you all laura bush's recipe for cowboy cookies.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1 T. baking powder
  • 1 T. baking soda (just scoop out from the box in the back of the fridge used to absorb odors - no one will know!)
  • 3 tins Skoal Long Cut Mint chewing tobacco
  • 1 T. artificial hickory smoke flavor
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 C. animal lard (at room temperature)

PREPARATION:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, chewing tobacco and salt in bowl.
  • In 8-quart bowl, beat butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1 minute.
  • Gradually beat in artificial sweeteners; beat to combine, 2 minutes.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Beat in artifical vanilla extract.
