Cindy – Good catch – that 2 Tbsp should be water not milk. I will get it changed in the post. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Happy baking for your cookie exchange!

These cookies look so delicious! I have a question though. In the description area it says to “Beat well shortening, milk, water, egg and vanilla.” I don’t see water as an ingredient. Can you tell me how much water to add? THANKS so much! I’m planning on taking these to a cookie exchange that I’ve been going to for well over 20 years!
