The key to making these turn out is adding flour till no longer sticky and keeping the dough cold. I use only 1/4 of the dough at a time. Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening or 3/4 cup butter |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Mix 1st four ingredients till blended.
2. Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl then add to the wet ingredients until well blended.
3. Cut into half and wrap both pieces (like bread loaves) in plastic wrap.
4. Chill 1 hour.
5. Using one piece at a time, roll on floured surface, if to sticky keep adding flour till you have a manageable dough like consistency.
6. Cut out shapes.
7. Cook 400 degrees ungreased 6-8 minutes till lightly golden.
8. Cool on wire rack.
9. Keep all unused portions cold for easier handling.
