Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, milk and shortening; heat to boiling. 
Cool. Beat in egg. Add extract, next 4 ingredients, salt and black pepper; 
mix well. Mix in enough flour to make a very stiff dough, kneading in the 
last addition. On surface dusted with powdered sugar, shape dough into 
ropes 3/8 to 3/4" in diameter. Cut ropes in 3/8 to 3/4" lengths. Place on 
ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375F until browned, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool 
1 to 2 minutes; remove to rack. Cookies will harden upon standing. Store 
large cookies in airtight container with apple slice. Makes 32 dozen 3/8" 
or 8 dozen 3/4" cookies.

portion of the dough into 18 pieces. With hands, roll each piece of 
dough to a 9 or 10" rope on lightly floured surface. Shape each rope 
into a circle, crossing about 1 1/2" from ends of rope. Twist rope at 
point where rope crosses. Seal ends of rope to center of opposite side 
of circle, forming a pretzel shape. Place on lightly greased cookie 
sheet. Repeat shaping with remaining dough. Bake at 375F until lightly 
browned on bottom, 12 to 14 minutes --- tops will be pale. Makes 3 dozen 
cookies.
