i got this recipe from my aunt who makes them every year for christmas. her instructions say to bake til light brown but I haven't made these cookies yet so i dont know how long that takes. i would probably let them cook for 8 minutes and then check every 2 minutes or so. Ingredients:
1 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 eggs |
2 3/4 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 cup butter |
2 cups powdered sugar |
2 tablespoons milk |
1/3 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
3. Combine the second 4 ingredients in another bowl.
4. Mix both bowls together.
5. Roll out and cut dough using cookie cutters.
6. Bake until light brown, let cool then frost.
7. For the frosting combine final 4 ingredients.
8. If its too thin, add more sugar, too thick, add more milk.
