Buttermilk Cookies

These are great for showers, tea times, or just because. These are delicate cookies with an old fashioned taste. I real must in the summer with a glass of lemonade on the side.. I listed shortening or lard. I prefer the lard to be honest. Its not the healtiest choice for some, just the orginal recipe calls for lard. Never messed with perfection when I found it...
