Directions:
- In large mixing bowl, cream butter and shortening until thoroughly mixed, about one minute.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, sift/whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add dry mixture to creamed mixture a cup at a time; mix until well combined (mixture will be stiff).
- Cover and chill dough overnight. Caution, you may have to fend off kids who will snitch dough to eat when you are not looking!
- WHEN READY TO BAKE: Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Lightly dust your work area & rolling pin with flour.
- Lightly grease cookie sheet(s) with Crisco.
- Roll out dough to approximately 1/4 thick. For simple shapes, Ed rolls his dough a bit thinner.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shaped cookies. If you do not have cookie cutters, an inverted glass will cut a nice round cookie if you flour the edge first.
- Place cookies about one inch apart on greased cookie sheet(s).
- If desired, sprinkle cookies with colored sugar.
- Bake in 375ºF oven for 6-8 minutes or until edges just brown. Watch your first batch carefully so that you know how many minutes works for you.
- Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.
- NOTE: Any scrap dough may be rerolled and cut, although if the dough becomes warm from handling, it may need to be re-refrigerated for 15 minutes.
