My best friend Charity (of the Martinez family) made these cookies when I visited last weekend. They have the best texture and aren't so sweet that you get sugared out. For that reason, as her dad wrote on the recipe card, they are "habit forming".
This recipe has been handed down for generation to generation, guarded very closely within the Martinez family. The Martinez curse will fall upon you if this recipe is revealed to anyone outside the Martinez family. Be therefore warned of this curse and place this recipe in a safe location.
Well, now Charity's let a white girl get ahold of it, so she better look out...
4 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 1/2 cups Crisco
6 egg yolks
1 cup chopped nuts
Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix egg yolks into Crisco, then combine with flour mixture. Add in nuts. Roll into round balls, the size of walnuts. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Press down with finger. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.
Makes about 10 dozen.
