Monkey Face Cookies

These were the go to cookies for me from that "Home Ec" cookbook while I was in high school.  They're easy to make, very yummy . . . and hold the frosting I'd pile on them very well.

Monkey Face Cookies

1 egg
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup sour milk
2 T shortening, melted
1 1/2 cup sifted flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Grease cookie sheets.  Bake at 350 degrees.

~ by the way, these are called Monkey Face Cookies because you're supposed to use raisins to decorate them to look like monkey faces.  BAH I say.  Leave off the raisins and ice the babies!  A good icing to use is the Cream Cheese Icing used for the Sugar Cookie Bars.
