Peppernuts (The brown ones Grandma makes)

Peppernuts
1/3 cup shortening
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp soda dissolved in
1 tsp hot water
1 tsp cinnamon
1tsp nutmeg
2 1/2 cups flour

Mix all ingredients. On a flat, floured surface, roll into 1/2" ropes and place side by side on a floured cookie sheet. Freeze. Once frozen, remove rolls and cut. Place on the pan in rows (they do not need much room to spread - if they do, add more flour next time). Bake 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Cool on brown paper bag and store in a closed container.

Christian really enjoyed them!

Christian and I made another batch on Saturday. They were gone by Wednesday and I didn't eat any of them. I'm amazed at how much Christian likes them.
