Stately Cookies

Wilbert brought home a small cookbook titled Capitol Cookies. It contains a cookie recipe for each state in the union. I quickly flipped to the state of Washington, and found Marshmallow Cloud Cookies. My "future" state of Maine offered Marmalade Cookies (still not to my liking).
I finally found tasty treats from North Carolina and North Dakota, respectively:
Russian Tea Balls (North Carolina)
2 C Crisco Mix (see below)
Crisco Mix:
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (except powdered sugar). Mix well. Form dough into one-inch balls; place on an un-greased cookie sheet and bake at 375-degrees F for twelve to fifteen minutes. While hot, roll in powdered sugar and serve. Similar recipe: Kourambiethes (Greek Christmas Cookies).
And the other:
Salted Nut Rolls (North Dakota)
Grease a 9x13-inch pan; layer half of the nuts on the bottom. Mix the rest of the ingredients (except for the peanuts) and melt together in a saucepan. Pour over the nuts in the pan; sprinkle the remaining peanuts over the top. Press down. Cool and cut into squares.
Yummy in the tummy!
