    Recipe




    Beat together sugar and shortening.

    Beat in milk, egg and one tablespoon vanilla.

    Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

    Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls.

    Place balls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.

    Insert a stick into the side of each dough ball, and flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.

    Bake at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are golden.

    Let cool on baking sheet 2 minutes.

    Remove from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.

    In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; add water, one tablespoon at a time, until spreadable.

    Spread frosting on top 1/3 for a hat and on bottom 1/3 for a beard, one cookie at a time.

    Sprinkle red sugar for a hat and coconut on beard.

    Press on a marshmallow for tassel of hat, raisins for eyes, and a cinnamon candy for nose.
