List of Ingredients

3/4 cup Butter-flavored shortening (love Crisco for this) 1 cup
granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Colored decorations or icing




Recipe

Cream shortening, sugar, eggs and vanilla in large mixer bowl at medium
speed of electric mixer until light and creamy.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt.

Add to creamed mixture, mixing on low speed until well blended. Cover
dough and chill 1 hour, if desired, for easy rolling. Preheat oven to
375 degrees. Roll half of dough at a time. Roll out dough on lightly
floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter, cut in
desired shapes. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Roll leftover pieces.

Sprinkle with colored decorations or leave plain to decorate when cool.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges are light brown.
(Time will vary with cookie size.) Cool slightly, then remove to cooling
rack.
