Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and almond extract, mix until well blended.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
- Add milk and mix just until blended.
- Cover and refridgerate, until easy to handle. (Admittedly I am often in a hurry and rush this step, my cookies still turn out well.).
- On a lightly floured surface roll out dough to approximately 1/4 inch thickness, cut with floured cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 400* for 6 - 8 minutes. Do NOT brown. Bottom of cookies should only be lightly golden.
- Remove from sheets to wire racks to cool completely then frost and decororate.
- For Frosting cream together butter, vanilla and sugar, then beat in enough milk to achieve a desired spreading consistancy, add food coloring if desired.
