Ruby Wilcox's Hot Lips Cookie Crisps

Trying to get recipes under control - HOPELESS - though Copy Me That has me closer than ever. Now if I can just follow my intended rule to try three before adding one, I might succeed!

from Susan Wittig Albert

1 cup soft shortening

2 cups brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1½ cup finely chopped cashews

1½ cups whole wheat flour

1½ cups unbleached flour

½ tsp soda

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp habanero powder

Preheat oven to 325 F. Cream butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix well. Mix the dry ingredients together with the nuts, and stir into the creamed mixture. Chill. Roll out like a log, about 2" in diameter, slice and bake until golden.
