butterscotch crispies

This is another traditional Christmas cookie from my husband's family.

1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. butter
2 1/2 c. brown sugar
2 beaten eggs
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda

Cream shortening, butter and sugar; beat eggs in one at a time; sift (or mix) dry ingredients and then add to creamed mixture.  Roll into teaspoon sized balls and bake at 350 degrees on an ungreased cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes.   Yield: about 5 dozen.
