I made these with my lovely achievement day girls but didn't take a picture. This is mom's recipe, so we all know it is good. Just thought I would post it on our blog so everyone can have access to it. Enjoy!
¾ cup shortening
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 ½ cups flour
Mix thoroughly shortening, sugar, eggs and flavoring. Blend in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover, chill for 1 hour. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured counter. Cut into desired shapes. Place on a ungreased baking sheet. Bake 6 to 8 mins or until very lightly brown. Makes about 4 dozen 3 inch cookies.
