Ingredients

12 servings

•

1.5 cups white sugar
•

1.5 cups shortening
•

1 large egg
•

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•

3.5 cups cake flour

•

1.25 teaspoons baking soda
•

0.75 teaspoon salt
•

0.5 cup ground walnuts
•

1 cup prepared chocolate fudge frosting

Instructions

Cream together sugar and shortening in a medium bowl. Stir in egg and vanilla, beat until light and fluffy.
Combine cake flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Dough will be stiff, you may need to use your hands to mix. Roll dough into a log about 15 inches long, and roll in the ground nuts. Wrap and chill dough for at least an hour or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing to cool completely on wire racks.
When cool, place a dollop of fudge icing onto the center of each cookie.
