Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup shortening or butter I usually use butter flavored Crisco
  • 2 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 t. vanilla
  • 5 cups flour
  • 2 t. baking soda
  • 2 t. salt

Instructions

  • Cream together shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, combine. Add the flour, salt and baking soda, mix well, form into a ball, cover and chill over night.
  • Roll onto a floured surface and cut with cookie cutters.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for about 7 minutes.
  • WATCH CLOSELY for them to be soft, you can’t let them brown.
  • Frost with powdered sugar icing.

Notes

Or… you can cheat like me. By plain classic white frosting in a can. Zap it in the microwave for a few seconds, and drizzle on your cookies.
The number of cookies can vary based on the size of the cutter you use.
