This was my grandfather's favorite, and has become a family tradition. Enjoy.

1 cup shortening
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon almond extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening, butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Roll into walnut sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until bottoms begin to brown.
