1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
vanilla (1 teaspoon?)
1 large Baby Ruth candy bar, cut into small pieces.
Cream shortening and sugar, then beat in the egg and the vanilla and set aside. Mix the flour, salt and baking soda. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, just until incorporated. Stir in the candy bar pieces. Refrigerate until firm.
Preheat oven to 375° and drop the dough by spoonful onto grease baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
