Best Christmas Cookies
- From Claire, who says: Remember when we made cookies of our friends & teachers? They were these!
3/4 c butter
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1/2 t flavoring (lemon and vanilla are both good)
2 1/2 c flour
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
Cream shortning & sugar. Mix dry together. Mix all together. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Roll out and use cookie cutters. Bake for 6-8 minutes at 400 degrees.
Note: I like to make lots of different icing colors (just a mix of milk & powdered sugar with candy coloring (much stronger than standard food coloring)) and put a different flavor in each (again, candy flavoring is stronger than the standard, though not necessarily better). Then your cookies can be multi-flavored and very colorful. Naturally, a multitude of sprinklings & sugars should be used too.
