(I usually double this)
¾ cup shortening (part butter or margarine)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
½ teaspoon Lemon flavoring or 1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teasspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
Mix shortening, sugar, eggs, and flavoring thoroughly. Measure flour by sifting method or by
sifting. Stir flour, baking powder, and
salt together; blend in. Chill at least
1 hour. Heat over to 400 degrees (since
moving to Idaho I have to use 425 degrees).
Roll dough ¼ inch thick on lightly floured board. Cut with cookie cutters. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until cookies are a
delicate golden color. Makes about 4
dozen 3 inch cookies. Frost and decorate
as desired.
