    Recipe Introduction


    These are pretty rolled in colored sugars for Christmas. I normally double this recipe and make 1 with green sugar and 1 with red sugar. The kids love to help roll them in the sugar and put them on the pan.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 cup shortening
    • 1 cup sugar
    • ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
    • Sugar


    Instructions


    1. Beat shortening at medium speed until fluffy.
    2. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and brown sugar, beating well.
    3. Add egg and vanilla, beat well.
    4. Combine flour, soda, salt and cream of tartar.
    5. Gradually add to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
    6. Put through cookie press and sprinkle with sugar or shape dough into 1-in. balls and roll in sugar.
    7. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets
    8. Bake at 325° for 10-12 minutes.
    9. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets.
    10. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
