Butterfingers / Lady Fingers

1 cup soft shortening (half butter)
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup nuts
Sift together and work in
1 2/3 cups sifted flour
1/4 tsp. salt

Chill dough. Roll with hands..pencil thick. Cut in 2 1/2 lengths. Form into crescents on ungreased baking sheet. Bake until set..not brown. Cool on pan. While slightly hot, dip in 1 cup confectioners sugar.

Bake at 325 about 14 to 16 minutes.

This is another favorite of mine. Great at Christmas, weddings, showers, etc. These can also be made into balls or fingers.
