List of Ingredients
1/2 cup shortening
1-cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cream
1-tablespoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350*
Combine flour and baking powder and set aside.
Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, cream, and vanilla and beat well.
Stir in flour mixture by hand. Place in a container and chill until dough is firm enough to be rolled out and cut into shapes.
Roll out with powered sugar instead of flour, this keeps the cookies from taking up any more flour and keeps them soft and cake-like.
Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 350*
for 8 minutes or till lightly browned around the edges.
