SHORT'NIN' BREAD
"Mix up the flour, then you'll be fed. Mama's little baby loves shortnin bread." My grandfather used to sing that to me when I was a kid. I'd never seen a recipe for the famed "shortnin bread" until I started digging around for some very old, Southern recipes.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325º F. Set out 2 large cookie sheets Lay butter out to soften Cut 2 large pieces of parchment and have ready to place on the counter
- 2. Sift flour into a large mixing bowl Press the brown sugar through a sieve into the bowl with flour. This will remove lumps. Blend thoroughly with whisk or wooden spoon.
- 3. NOTE: TO MAKE PECAN SANDIES, JUST ADD 1 CUP FINELY MINCED PECANS TO THE FLOUR/SUGAR MIX BEFORE YOU ADD THE BUTTER.
- 4. Add softened butter to flour/sugar mixture and blend with wooden spoon until you have a smooth dough Lightly flour the parchment paper and turn dough out on to it. Lay another piece of slightly floured parchment paper over the top of the dough. Gently press with hands to smooth out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 to 1/2" thick. Note: If desired, for easier handling, you can put dough in fridge to chill for about 30 minutes before turning out onto paper.
- 5. When dough is pressed out smooth and even, you can cut pieces with a biscuit cutter or use your holiday/fun cookie cutters to make special shapes. Lay each piece on a cookie sheet about 1" apart.
- 6. Place in preheated oven and cook for about 25 minutes, until delicately browned. Remove pans from oven and leave cookies on cookie sheets for about 5-10 minutes to cool and firm up. You can then transfer them to cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before placing in a storage container.

SHORTNIN' BREAD, TENNESSEE STYLE.
I was shocked to not find Shortnin' Bread here. So, here it is, antebellum style, and it sounds delicious. There is no shortening in here, since shortening once referred to any type of cooking fat. The original shortnin' bread, according to some, was a savory cornbread layered with bacon. It is now categorized as a sweet dessert, and encompasses all from Scottish Shortbread to regular sugar cookies. This, however, is one of the original recipes from pre-war Tennessee. I'm sure all "mama's little babies" will love this. Thanks to Margaret Nichol.
