Joann strikes again! Rotflmao! Now wondering about options of craisins instead of raisins and other dried fruits since water would rehydrate them. Also, could fill with other fillings for biscotti options...so fig or dates in these maybe? Shit, bakery brain!

How To Make grandma cookies, joann z

1
Dough: first stir shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla together. Second stir in cream of tartar and baking soda. Cover and chill.
